This topic describes how to use the co-streaming URL generator in the ApsaraVideo Live console to generate the ingest and streaming URLs of streamers and co-streamers and the CDN streaming URLs of viewers.

Prerequisites

A co-streaming application is created. For more information, see Create a co-streaming application.
A streaming domain is added, and the streaming domain is associated with an ingest domain. For more information about how to add a streaming domain, see Add a domain name. For more information about how to associate a streaming domain with an ingest domain, see Bind a stream pushing domain to a streaming domain.

Click Generate URLs to generate the ingest and streaming URLs of streamers and co-streamers and the CDN streaming URLs of viewers.

Note Tokens in the ingest and streaming URLs of streamers and co-streamers that are generated by using the console are temporary, and are usually used for testing. If you need ingest and streaming URLs that are used for business purposes, construct the URLs by using the concatenation rules for security reasons.
