Preparations

You have registered with Huawei Cloud and completed real-name authentication.
NOTE:
If you are a Huawei Cloud (International/Europe) user, you need to complete real-name authentication when you:
- Purchase and use cloud services on Huawei Cloud nodes in the Chinese mainland. In this case, real-name authentication is required by the laws and regulations of the Chinese mainland.
- Plan to use Live in regions in the Chinese mainland.
Domain names for Media Live are available. A PUSH channel requires an ingest domain name and a streaming domain name, and the two domain names must be different. A PULL channel does not require an ingest domain name.
NOTE:

If you want to perform livestreaming acceleration in Huawei Cloud regions in or outside the Chinese mainland, the domain names must complete ICP filing in advance as required by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
When a new IAM user uses Media Live for the first time, they need to configure the permission to create a domain name.

Notes

Live may assign a default ingest domain name to you. Examples:

Ingest domain name format in the Chinese mainland: {projectid}.hwcloudlive.com
Example: 0c283a271****************9459b6a.hwcloudlive.com
Ingest domain name format outside the Chinese mainland: {projectid}.ott.huawei
Example: 0c283a271****************9459b6a.ott.huawei

The preceding ingest domain names are for internal use of the service. If you are assigned these domain names, the domain names are visible but cannot be called or used. This does not affect your use of Live or cause extra fees.

Risk Warning on the First Service Enabling

If you purchase Live for the first time, the page shown in Figure 1 will be displayed. You need to check the details of each billing item and read the Huawei Cloud Live Service Agreement carefully before enabling Live.
