The Ingest Domain routes live streams to the nearest edge node, and the Streaming Domain accelerates content delivery to your audience.

Domain Name
|
N/A
|
Enter the domain name to accelerate. Note the following:
-
Use a subdomain for the accelerated domain name, such as demo.aliyundoc.com.
-
ApsaraVideo Live does not support wildcard domain names, such as *.aliyundoc.com.
-
An accelerated domain name must be unique. If you receive the message The specified domain already exists, verify that the domain name is not already used in another Alibaba Cloud service, such as ApsaraVideo VOD.
-
After you activate ApsaraVideo Live, you can add up to 20 domain names per account. If the average daily peak bandwidth of your domain names exceeds 50 Mbps and your business is risk-free, you can submit a ticket to request a quota increase. For more information, see Contact Us.
-
All accelerated content must comply with legal requirements and business standards. For details, see Domain name review standards.
Note
The subdomain must belong to the same Alibaba Cloud account. ApsaraVideo Live checks this when you add the domain name. If the subdomain belongs to a different account, the system reports an error.
