+So why do we need an RTSP server when already have FFmpeg to read or create an RTSP stream?
+
+Because we need something that can “accept” and “distribute” the stream. 
+FFmpeg can stream “to” a URL, but cannot “publish” or “distribute” the stream. 
+RTSP servers like mediamtx are also highly optimized for fast streaming, 
+highly scalable for handling multiple streams, 
+and also implement cool features like synchronization and buffering.
