Streaming management	Streaming	You can manage ongoing streams and historical streams, such as disabling and resuming livestreams. This function is available only in AP-Singapore and CN North-Beijing4.
Domain name management	Adding Domain Names	You can add and manage your own domain names, configure CNAME records, referer validation, URL validation, and access control lists (ACLs) for domain names, and configure snapshot and transcoding templates.
Stream push	Transcoding	You can transcode livestreams into video streams with different resolutions and bitrates to meet a broad range of requirements.
	Creating a Recording Template	You can configure recording templates, record livestreams based on the templates, and store the recordings in OBS. This function is unavailable in AP-Bangkok.
	Snapshot Capturing	You can configure snapshot templates, capture snapshots from livestreams based on the templates, and store the snapshots in OBS. In AP-Bangkok, submit a service ticket to request for template review. The template takes effect only after it is approved.
	Stream Status Notifications	You can configure callback URLs so that you can be notified of stream status in real time. In AP-Bangkok, submit a service ticket to request for template review. The template takes effect only after it is approved.
	Stream Authentication	You can configure URL validation and ACLs to identify and filter out malicious streaming requests.
Playback	Configuring Stream Delay	You can configure the delay for RTMP and HTTP-FLV streaming.
	Configuring Origin Pull	You can pull live content from your own origin server to Huawei Cloud Live origin server for accelerated delivery.
	Configuration Method	You can enable HTTPS secure acceleration for streaming domain names to encrypt your live content during transmission.
	Overview	You can configure referer validation, URL validation, and ACLs to identify and filter out malicious visitors.
Usage statistics	Usage Statistics	You can check the downstream bandwidth/traffic of all streaming domain names, and the total transcoding duration, maximum number of concurrent recording streams, and number of snapshots of all ingest domain names.
Service monitoring	Service Monitoring	You can check data of a streaming domain name, such as the downstream bandwidth/traffic, stream playback profile, status codes returned in the response, and the number of online viewers of the corresponding livestream. You can also check data of the ingest domain name, such as the upstream bandwidth/traffic, total number of streams, pushed stream details, and frame rate/bitrate of a pushed stream.
Log management	Offline Log Download	You can check logs about requests to a streaming domain name and query and download log files over the past 90 days.
Tools	Signed URL Generation Tool	You can quickly generate signed URLs for streaming and ingest domain names.
