Cloudflare Stream Low-Latency HLS support now in Open Beta

What this post added

Introduced Low-Latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS) support for Cloudflare Stream, reducing glass-to-glass latency to as little as three seconds. This enhancement builds upon existing HLS capabilities and is available in open beta with no additional pricing changes. The post details the technical aspects of LL-HLS, including its extension of the HLS standard, the importance of client-side buffering, and recommended broadcast settings (h264 codec, 1-second GOP size). It also outlines the process for enabling LL-HLS in the Cloudflare dashboard and testing with OBS Studio and the built-in player.
