Can we use PlayFab CDN to stream Audio and Video files?

@Brendan @Sarah ZhangWe are building a gamified application, that requires users to watch a video or listen to Audio files before playing a trivia style game. Each game has either a video or a audio file associated with it before the game can be played.

I understand that we can use PlayFab CDN for downloading game levels that are in binary format, for the game to expand more content. But can this same CDN be used or Streaming Audio and Video by multiple users at the same time?

If this PlayFab CDN is only designed for uploading and downloading content, what do you recommend for a use case like ours, where these Audio and Video files are previewed by the players on their mobile phones.. Does Azur has some kind of service that we can use in conjunction with PlayFab?

The PlayFab CDN is simply that - a Content Delivery Network - so it does not provide streaming. There are, however, a number of Azure features that will let you stream your content. They're not directly integrated with PlayFab, so you couldn't manage your content via the Game Manager, but they do have easy-to-use interfaces in Azure.

I'd recommend starting here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/media-services/
