Step 6: View Your Live Stream

You can view your live stream with:

• The native IVS player SDKs.

• The Amazon IVS console.

Viewing with the Amazon IVS Player SDKs

1. Set up the IVS Player. Start with the IVS Player SDK overview, then read the appropriate platform-specific Player guide(s).

2. From the Amazon IVS console, get the Playback URL that was generated when you created your channel. (See Final Channel Creation earlier in this Getting Started guide.)

3. Call player.load() with the playback URL.

Viewing with the Amazon IVS Console

1. Open the Amazon IVS console.

   (You can also access the Amazon IVS console through the AWS Management Console.)

2. On the navigation pane, choose Live channels. (If the nav pane is collapsed, first open it by choosing the hamburger icon.)

3. Choose the channel whose stream you want to view, to go to a details page for that channel.

   The live stream is playing in the Live stream section of the page.

Note: Playback from the console consumes resources, and you will incur live-video output costs. To learn more, see Live Video Output Costs on the IVS Pricing page.

Note: After you start streaming, there is a short delay (up to 30 seconds, usually less) before your stream can be viewed in the console.
