Summary

Low-latency HLS (LL-HLS) is a significant advancement in delivering low-latency live video on the internet, reducing latency from 30 seconds to around 5 seconds. Mux Video has introduced a new Live Stream Latency metric in Mux Data, making it the first Quality of Experience solution to offer this metric for standard HLS protocols with support for various video players. This feature is available to all Mux Data users and helps developers measure live stream latency more accurately at scale. The Live Stream Latency metric can answer important questions about streaming operations and user experience, such as how much latency viewers are experiencing, how it affects user engagement, and where high latencies occur globally or on specific networks and devices.
