FAQs about VNETWORK HLS streaming

Which businesses is VNETWORK's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) solution suitable for?

VNETWORK's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) solution suits businesses that broadcast live to large audiences, such as TV and OTT platforms, online event organizers, e-commerce live selling, online education and gaming. It lets businesses run live streams on their own website or app instead of relying on external platforms.

Can HLS live streaming handle large audiences?

Yes. HLS streaming is delivered through the VNETWORK CDN in 146+ countries, serving millions of concurrent viewers. Servers with new-generation GPUs can transcode 40 1080p streams simultaneously per server, supporting events with sudden traffic spikes.

How is live streaming content protected?

The HLS solution protects video content with tokens and DRM. Tokens let businesses control playback locations and availability duration, limiting unauthorized sharing or replay of live content.

Can viewers watch the content again after the live stream ends?

Yes. The system automatically records live streams in HLS format and makes them available for VOD playback right after the broadcast, without complex processing. Businesses can combine it with Video Media Service to manage their video library after the event.

How do I integrate the HLS solution into my website or app?

VNETWORK's HLS streaming solution provides an API and documentation so developers can integrate it into an existing website or app. The process has three main steps: create a stream key, broadcast via RTMP and receive the HLS output URL for playback. The VNETWORK technical team supports configuration during deployment.
