1. Select Domain Management on the left sidebar and click the playback domain for which you want to configure RTMP and FLV latency, or click Manage on the right to enter the details page.

2. In Advanced Configuration > Playback latency configuration , you can configure the latency for RTMP and FLV.
3. When live streaming latency parameters are configured, it is recommended to select appropriate latency parameters based on your actual business needs.
