If you want browser-friendly video, look into HLS, simply MP4 with faststart is not enough. Plenty of ffmpeg snippets around.

Care to share what the site is?

You are confusing things. It is not about live streaming, it is about supplying a video with smooth playback, adaptive quality, etc., to the browser. The video would be already made and converted to HLS with ffmpeg. Not sure why am I thanklessly wasting time arguing with you in order to give useful advice against your will, of course.
