Go to the StreamLive console. The left sidebar displays four sections:
● Security Group Management
● Input Management
● Channel Management
● Watermark Management
We will show you how to configure security groups, inputs, and channels (required), as well as watermarks (optional).

1. Select Security Group Management on the left sidebar and click Create Security Group. In the pop-up window, enter a security group name and specify the IP allowlist. IP addresses must be in CIDR format. Separate addresses with commas or line breaks.
   

2. Select Input Management on the left sidebar, click Create Input, and complete the settings in the pop-up window.
   

• Type: The streaming protocol. RTMP_PUSH is selected in this example.
• Security Group: The security group to associate. Select from the drop-down list a created security group.
• Destination: The push destination. Enter at least one AppName and StreamName. You can configure two destinations to offer redundancy.

3. Click Confirm. Find the input you created in the input list to enter the details page. Note the push destination for later user.

4. Click Channel Management on the left sidebar and click Create Channel. In the Basic Information step, enter a channel name.
   

5. In the Input Setting step, add the input you just created (you can add multiple inputs, for which you can configure different transcoding templates and outputs).
   

6. In the Output Group Setting step, configure transcoding templates and outputs for the channel.

• For Basic Information, enter an output group name and select an output group type (two protocols and three output types are supported). In the Destination Information area, enter the StreamPackage Channel ID you noted previously. This allows you to quickly implement transcoding and packaging for your live streams.
  
• You can also specify the Segment Information on this page, including the segment type, segment duration, and segment number. For some devices, such as Apple TV, to play H.265-encoded videos, you need to select fmp4 as the Segment Type and hvc1 as the Packaging Type.
  

7. Scroll down to the Template Information area to configure transcoding templates. You can configure joint transcoding templates or separate transcoding templates for audio and video. Multi-bitrate outputs are also supported.
   

8. In the Outputs area, enter a name for each output and select the transcoding templates to use. Click Done.
   

9. Return to the channel list and click Start in the Operation column to start the channel.
