This article shows you how to display a live video stream using HTTPS Live Streaming (HLS) on your Rise Vision display. HLS supports video, audio, and subtitles, and is commonly used for live broadcasts.
Requirements
- An HLS stream URL ending in .m3u8
- A Rise Vision account
- Access to create or edit Presentations
Instructions
- Decide how you want to show the stream:
- Full-screen: Go to the Presentation template library and select the Streaming Full Screen template.
- Within a Playlist: Open any Presentation with a Playlist and add the Video Streaming item.
- Paste your HLS stream URL into the Source field. Note: The stream will not preview in the Presentation editor, but it will appear in a Schedule preview and on your Display.
- Adjust available options:
- Volume – Set the default audio level
- Audio Track – Choose the audio language (if available)
- Subtitles – Enable subtitles (if available)
- Click Publish, then assign the Presentation to a Schedule for your Display.
Behavior Notes
- HLS streams must use a .m3u8 file. Links ending in .m3u are not supported.
- If your stream is hosted on YouTube, follow this guide instead.
