HLS, or HTTP Live Streaming, is an adaptive streaming communications protocol created by Apple that allows the delivery of audio and video content over the internet in real-time. It works by breaking the stream into small segments delivered over HTTP, enabling seamless playback on various devices and adjusting the quality based on the user's connection speed. HLS has become a standard for live streaming due to its compatibility with many platforms and devices.
