Using Custom Domain For Live Streaming

Setting Up Your Own Domain

To set up a different domain for the ingest URL instead of LiveAPI's default (ingest.liveapi.com), you can add a CNAME to your domain's DNS settings that points to ingest.liveapi.com.

🚧

Ingest URL vs Playback URL

The Ingest URL (ingest.liveapi.com) is not the same as Playback URLs which are player.liveapi.com for embed URL and live.liveapi.com for HLS URL.

If you want to use a different domain in your playback URLs, you can contact us at [email protected].
