# Millicast SDK

The Native SDK for creating Android applications. You may use it in your Android project to connect, capture, publish, or subscribe to streams using the OptiView Real-time Streaming Platform.

> **Player vs SDK**
>
> **Dolby OptiView Player** (formerly THEOplayer) now supports real-time streaming (formerly Millicast). Unless directed by your onboarding team, please use the [Dolby OptiView Player](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-860/millicast/playback/players-sdks/android/player.md) and not the Millicast SDKs.
