Upload videos via the Livepeer Studio API. TUS resumable upload is recommended; PUT is also supported.
TUS supports resumable uploads and is recommended for all uploads, especially large files.

​
Create upload with the SDK

From your backend, create an asset to get an upload URL (TUS or PUT): 
const { data } = await livepeer.asset.create({ name: "my-video.mp4" });
// data.tusUploadUrl for TUS client on frontend
// data.asset has asset id
Use the TUS upload URL with a TUS client on the frontend to upload the file. When processing finishes, use the asset playback ID to play it. See Play an asset and Listen to events.
