Step-6: Next you need to Add Streaming URL for your Live stream content. Choose URL Type to External Streaming URL.

Step-7: After selecting the External Streaming URL, you need to provide a HLS URL *. In general a HLS url link comes with .m3u8 extension.

Step-8: Then you can add a trailer video to the Live content (optional). And then go to the next steps of the content creation flow like, providing Content Details (name description, thumbnail, banner image etc.), General Settings (artist, metadata etc.)

Step-9: In the final step of the live content creation, you need to set Pricing details and Publishing details. In general, a Live Content is created before the actual live streaming. Hence you need to provide the Start Time and End Time of the Live Content.

That's it! Your Live Content with external HLS Link is created and ready for the live stream. The content will become live as per the Start Time you have provided. If the video feed from the external link is available, then the live streaming can be seen on the platform.

* HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming communications protocol developed by Apple Inc. and released in 2009. HLS is a widely used video streaming protocol that can run on almost any server and is supported by most devices. An HLS url link comes with .m3u8 extension. In HLS streaming, the M3U8 file organizes and sequences multimedia files for playback.When video is delivered via HLS to an HTML5 player, the player uses the M3U8 playlist file to locate and play the video segments efficiently.
