What’s new with Cloudflare Media: updates for Calls, Stream, and Images

What this post added

Introduced Live Instant Clipping API for Cloudflare Stream, allowing viewers to instantly clip moments from ongoing streams without re-encoding. This involves providing a manifest to preview recent live content and timing information for clip selection, generating on-the-fly clips as standalone video files or HLS manifests. Also introduced a pre-built upload widget for Cloudflare Images to simplify user uploads and automatic face cropping using the RetinaFace ML model for optimizing images of people.
