    ApsaraVideo Live:Add an accelerated domain name

    Last Updated:Sep 04, 2024

    ApsaraVideo Live allows you to ingest streams and play streams. To do so, you need to add an ingest domain and a streaming domain. The ingest domain is used to ingest live streams to the nearest points of presence (POPs), and the streaming domain is used to deliver the live streams to viewers from the nearest POPs. This way, the distribution of the live streams is accelerated. This topic describes how to add an accelerated domain name in the ApsaraVideo Live console.

    Prerequisites

    An Internet content provider (ICP) filing is applied for your domain name before you can use it for live streaming in the Chinese mainland.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the ApsaraVideo Live console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Domain Names. The Domain Management page appears.

    3. Click Add Domain.

    4. In the Add Domain Name step, configure parameters based on your business requirements.

      Important

      When you add a domain name to ApsaraVideo Live for the first time, ApsaraVideo Live verifies the ownership of the domain name. For more information, see Verify the ownership of a domain name.

      Description

      Domain Type

      • Streaming Domain

      • Ingest Domain

      The type of the domain name. You can add an ingest domain or a streaming domain. This parameter cannot be modified once it is set.

      Note

      • To add an ingest domain, select Ingest Domain for the Domain Type parameter. To add a streaming domain, select Streaming Domain for the Domain Type parameter.

      • You cannot add a domain name as both an ingest domain and a streaming domain.

      Domain Name

      None

      Enter the domain name that you want to accelerate. Take note of the following items:

      • In most cases, use a subdomain as an accelerated domain name. Example: demo.aliyundoc.com.

      • ApsaraVideo Live does not support wildcard domain names, such as *.aliyundoc.com.

      • Duplicate accelerated domain names are not allowed. If the error message The specified domain already exists is displayed, check whether the domain name is added to other cloud services such as ApsaraVideo VOD, Dynamic Route for CDN (DCDN), Secure CDN (SCDN), or Video Surveillance System.

      • After you activate ApsaraVideo Live, you can add up to 20 domain names to ApsaraVideo Live for each Alibaba Cloud account. If the average daily peak bandwidth of your domain names exceeds 50 Mbit/s, you can submit a ticket to increase the quota of domain names. Make sure that the quota increase does not incur business risks. For more information about how to submit a ticket, see Contact us.

      • Content that is served from the domain name must comply with the limits of ApsaraVideo Live. For more information, see Verify a domain name.

      Note

      The specified subdomain must belong to the same Alibaba Cloud account. When you add a domain name, ApsaraVideo Live verifies the ownership of the domain name. If the specified subdomain name belongs to a different account, an error message appears.

      The live center of an ingest domain must be located in the same region as that of the associated streaming domain. This parameter cannot be modified once it is set.

      For more information about how to select a live center, see the "How do I select a live center?" section of the FAQ topic.

    5. Click Submit.
