   Parameter	Option	Description
   Domain Name	N/A	Enter the domain name that you want to accelerate. Take note of the following points: In most cases, use a subdomain name 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 a maximum of 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 name must belong to the same Alibaba Cloud account. When you add a subdomain name, ApsaraVideo Live verifies the ownership of the subdomain name. If the subdomain name belongs to a different account, an error message appears.
   Live Center	N/A	A live center provides media processing services for live streams in the cloud, such as snapshot capture, recording, transcoding, and production studio. The live center of an ingest domain must be located in the same region as that of the bound streaming domain. This parameter cannot be modified once set. For more information about how to select a live center, see How do I select a live center?.
