Amazon GameLift Streams now supports sharing streams with stream URLs

Amazon GameLift Streams Update

Amazon GameLift Streams now offers stream URLs, providing end users with temporary, unauthenticated access to a playable stream session in a supported web browser. No AWS account, credentials, or software installation is required.

To share a playable stream, create a stream URL for a stream group and one of its applications, set the validity duration and session limit, and send the link. Each user who opens the link starts an independent stream session, routed to a nearby streaming location. No client integration or backend service is needed. Manage stream URLs via the console or new APIs: CreateStreamUrl, GetStreamUrl, ListStreamUrls, and RevokeStreamUrl.

There is no additional charge for stream URLs; you are charged for the stream capacity consumed by sessions started from a stream URL.

What to do

• Create stream URLs in the Amazon GameLift Streams console or using the new APIs.
• Monitor and revoke stream URLs as needed.
• Refer to the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide and the CreateStreamUrl API Reference for more information.
