How Playback Works

We give you a URL, you use it to play a video

After you upload a video and have an Edge Key, you can play it from either:

• The iframe player: https://player.antcdn.net/v1/{edgeKey}/master.m3u8
• The worker (raw HLS): https://worker.antcdn.net/v1/{edgeKey}/master.m3u8

If your video is private, you’ll append a JWT (?jwt=...). For public videos, you can embed/play directly.

Choosing a player

• Iframe - Shaka Player under the hood. Fastest to embed.
• Video.js - Likely the best all around choice.
• Shaka Player - Not so user friendly, but very robust.
• HLS.js - Most lightweight option.
• Mux Player - Great if you’re already using Mux.
