Cloudflare Stream Low-Latency HLS support now in Open Beta

Stream Live introduces a closed beta for Low Latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS), an extension of the high-quality, feature-rich HTTP Live Streaming protocol. LL-HLS aims to reduce latency in live streaming by delivering video content faster and decreasing the time it takes for viewers to see broadcasted material on their screens. This update enables more interactive features like chat and allows the use of live streaming in applications that require real-time responses, such as e-learning, sports events, gaming tournaments, and other time-sensitive events. LL-HLS is priced at $1 per 1,000 minutes delivered with no extra charges for encoding or bandwidth. The technology is powered by Cloudflare's global network to ensure fast delivery worldwide.
