Sep 25, 2023Taylor Smith

Summary
Introduced open beta support for Low-Latency HLS (LL-HLS) for Cloudflare Stream Live. LL-HLS extends the HLS standard to reduce glass-to-glass latency to as little as three seconds, enabling more interactive features and time-sensitive applications. The feature is available at the same pricing as standard HLS. The post details recommended broadcast settings (h264 codec, 1-second GOP size) and how to enable LL-HLS via the Cloudflare dashboard. It also mentions the ability to test LL-HLS manifests by appending '?protocol=llhls' to the manifest URL.
