Use your own custom domain

Use your own domain name for live ingest

CNAME-ing, short for "Canonical Naming", is a configuration that allows you to change the default name we provide. For live streaming, use your own domain for ingest instead of global-live.mux.com. All you need to do is add a CNAME to your domain's DNS settings that points to global-live.mux.com.

Here are a few popular domain services with CNAME-ing instructions. If your domain service is not listed, try searching their support resources.

• Cloudflare
• Google Domains
• AWS Route 53
• GoDaddy

Note that the CNAME doesn't have to be global-live, it can be anything you want it to be.

After configuring your DNS settings it may take a few hours before the new configuration works, depending on your DNS provider.

Here are a few examples of RTMPS and RTMP CNAME URLs before and after they are changed to custom domains:

# RTMPS examples
rtmps://global-live.mux.com:443/app
# RTMP examples
rtmp://global-live.mux.com:5222/app
rtmp://your-cname.your-site.com:5222/app

Use your own domain for delivering videos and images

For delivery, a custom domain allows you to play videos or deliver images from your domain rather than stream.mux.com or images.mux.com. Use your own domain for delivery, such as media.mycustomdomain.com

Why might you be interested in this feature? If you want to have a consistent brand presence across all your assets, sandbox your videos, or have a need to be allowlisted.
