Getting Started with Cloud Live

1

Adding domain names

Add an ingest domain name and a streaming domain name to Live. You can register a level-1 domain name (for example, example.com) and use two level-2 domain names (for example, live-play.example.com and live-push.example.com) as the ingest domain name and streaming domain name.

2

Associating domain names

Associate the ingest domain name with the streaming domain name. Otherwise, the playback will fail.

3

Configuring CNAME records

Live assigns a CNAME address to the ingest domain name and streaming domain name, respectively. Configure the CNAME records at your domain names' DNS providers to enable livestreaming acceleration.

4

Enabling HTTPS secure acceleration

You can enable HTTPS secure acceleration for LLL to ensure that your live content is encrypted during transmission.

This operation is required only for LLL.
