Before using Cloud Live, understand the following constraints.

Constraints

**Table 1** Constraints
Item	Description
Concurrent livestream	There is no limit on the number of concurrent livestreams. However, if the concurrency exceeds 100 Gbit/s, you can submit a service ticket for technical consulting.
Stream push	There is no limit on the bitrate. Common resolutions and bitrates are supported. To ensure smooth streaming, a bitrate no greater than 4 Mbit/s is recommended.
Playback	You can play a livestream only after the ingest and streaming domain names are associated. The values of AppName and StreamName in the streaming URL must be the same as those in the ingest URL.
Input/Output format	Cloud Stream Live Video packaging protocols RTMP and FLV Video codec: H.264 and H.265, etc. HLS output protocol Video codec: H.264 and H.265, etc. Audio packaging protocols RTMP and FLV Audio codec: AAC, etc. HLS output protocol Audio codec: AAC Low Latency Live (LLL) Transmission protocol requirements Signaling transmission protocol: HTTPS, HTTP, and UDP are supported. HTTP listening port 80 is enabled. HTTP and UDP are insecure. Media transmission protocol: UDP and TCP are supported. Media streams can be encrypted. It is recommended that DTLS be used for signaling negotiation, as UDP is insecure. Encoding format requirements Audience: The supported video encoding format is H.264 without B frames, and the supported audio encoding format is OPUS. Streamer: The supported video encoding format is H.264 without B frames, and the supported audio encoding format is AAC (LC/HE). NOTE: If the format of the streaming device is not supported, you need to create a transcoding template. LLL supports real-time transcoding, and you will be billed for using this function. The conversion from AAC to OPUS is supported and no fee will be generated. To reduce latency, you can set the GOP at the streaming device to 2s.
Streaming management	This function is available only in CN North-Beijing4, AP-Singapore, and EU-Dublin.
Recording	This function is unavailable in AP-Bangkok.
Transcoding	In AP-Bangkok, submit a service ticket for review after configuring a template. The configuration takes effect only after it is approved.
Snapshot capturing
Stream status notifications

API Constraints

Live sets a limit on the number of API calls to prevent service interruption caused by repeated API calls in a short period of time.
