Getting an HLS link

An HLS link lets you stream your channel into players and tools that support the HLS format. You can generate one from Get HLS Link in the studio.

The Get HLS Link screen

How it works

Strimm generates timezone-specific HLS links for your channel. A link can be created when today's or tomorrow's schedule contains only .m3u8 videos. Until playback reaches those scheduled blocks, the link may return an empty playlist.

If generation is unavailable

If your schedule contains videos that aren't .m3u8 sources, Strimm will list the blocking videos. To generate the link, remove those videos from today's and tomorrow's schedules, or replace them with m3u8 sources.
