HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is a technology that allows live or recorded video and audio content to be delivered over the internet. It works by breaking the media into small segments and sending them over standard web protocols, enabling smooth playback even with fluctuating internet speeds. Devices can adaptively choose the best quality segment to ensure a continuous viewing experience. HLS is widely used for streaming platforms like live broadcasts, on-demand videos, and sports events, providing reliable, scalable, and flexible content delivery across different devices and network conditions.
