Stream live video
Cloudflare Stream lets you or your users stream live video, and play live video in your website or app, without managing and configuring any of your own infrastructure.
How Stream works
Stream handles video streaming end-to-end, from ingestion through delivery.
- For each live stream, you create a unique live input, either using the Stream Dashboard or API.
- Each live input has a unique Stream Key, that you provide to you the creator who is streaming live video.
- Creators use this Stream Key to broadcast live video to Cloudflare Stream, over either RTMPS or SRT.
- Cloudflare Stream encodes this live video at multiple resolutions and delivers it to viewers, using Cloudflare’s Global Network. You can play video on your website using the Stream Player or using any video player that supports HLS or DASH.
