ApsaraVideo Live:Configure region blocking

Usage notes

• The HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), Flash Video (FLV), and Real-Time Streaming (RTS) protocols are supported.

• You can configure region blocking at the domain name level or at the stream level. If you add a region to a domain-level whitelist and a stream-level blacklist, the region is blocked at the stream level. If you add a region to a domain-level blacklist and a stream-level whitelist, the region is blocked at the domain name level.

• You can configure domain-level region blocking and stream-level region blocking at the same time. If there is a conflict between the configurations of domain-level region blocking and stream-level region blocking, the configuration in which a blacklist is specified shall prevail.
