HTTP Live Streaming Insights

What is HTTP Live Streaming?

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is an adaptive bitrate streaming protocol for delivering audio and video content over the Internet. It works by breaking the overall stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file downloads, each downloading one short chunk of an overall potentially unbounded transport stream. It is commonly used for streaming on-demand and live video content to a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.
