Introducing Low-Latency HLS Support for Cloudflare Stream

Stream Live introduces support for Low-Latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS) in a closed beta, offering a faster streaming experience with reduced latency from highs of around 30 seconds to less than 10 in many cases. LL-HLS is an extension of HLS and helps reduce glass-to-glass latency. This feature enables more interactive applications like Q&A or chat, live events, sports, gaming, etc., with less than 10-second latency. Stream Live's pricing includes simple, predictable costs: \$5 per 1,000 minutes of video stored per month and \$1 per 1,000 minutes of video viewed per month. The beta version is currently available for testing non-production workloads. After the beta period, LL-HLS will be generally available to all new and existing Stream subscriptions with no pricing changes or contract requirements.
