Step 1: Set up a live video service
This service receives your stream and gives you a link your screens can play. Most charge per minute watched, so a few screens for an evening costs very little.
- 1Create a live input or live stream in the service's dashboard.
- 2Copy the RTMP or RTMPS server URL and the stream key. Your streaming software sends to these.
- 3Copy the HLS playback link, which ends in .m3u8.Cloudflare Stream shows it on the live input's page. Mux builds it from the playback ID: https://stream.mux.com/<playback ID>.m3u8. Amazon IVS calls it the playback URL.
- 4Make sure playback is public. Screens can't sign in, so turn off signed URLs or playback restrictions for this stream.
