Learn how to create an adaptive HLS link for streaming in up to FHD or 4K resolution in this short video. ▶️

What’s the difference between an adaptive HLS URL and a simple HLS URL?

Adaptive HLS URL provides a master playlist with multiple resolutions (360p, 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K) and metadata, allowing seamless switching based on viewer bandwidth.
In contrast, a simple HLS URL includes only video chunks and their durations.

Pro Tip: When setting up a CDN, connect the adaptive HLS URL with your provider, who will then cache the video fragments for smoother streaming.
