# Use your own custom domain
Use your own domain for live streaming ingest and live and on-demand playback. For live streaming ingest we support CNAME-ing or "canonical naming" `global-live.mux.com`.  For playback, we support the streaming of videos or serving images from your own domain.
## Use your own domain name for live ingest

CNAME-ing, short for "Canonical Naming", is a configuration that allows you to change the default domain name we provide.

Add a [CNAME](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record) to your domain's [DNS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System) settings, and configure it to point to `global-live.mux.com`. After a short amount of time you should be able use your own domain name for ingest.

<Callout type="warning" title="RTMP, RTMPS and SRT with custom domains">
  Mux supports both RTMP, RTMPS and SRT ingestion. RTMP and SRT support custom domains by configuring the CNAME record to point at the relevant ingest URL's domain (such as global-live.mux.com, or a [regional live ingest URL](/docs/guides/configure-broadcast-software#available-ingest-urls)). Custom domains will not work with RTMPS.

  Please reach out to [our support team](/support) with additional details of your requirements.

Here are a few popular domain services with CNAME-ing instructions. If your domain service is not listed, try searching their support resources.

* [Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020348832-Configuring-a-CNAME-setup)
* [Google Domains](https://support.google.com/a/answer/47283?hl=en)
* [AWS Route 53](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/ResourceRecordTypes.html#CNAMEFormat)
* [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-a-cname-record-19236)

Note that the CNAME doesn't have to be `global-live`, it can be anything you want it to be.

After configuring your DNS settings it may take a few hours before the new configuration works, depending on your DNS provider.

Here are a few examples of RTMPS and RTMP CNAME URLs before and after they are changed to custom domains:

```text
# RTMPS examples
rtmps://global-live.mux.com:443/app
# RTMP examples
rtmp://global-live.mux.com:5222/app
rtmp://your-cname.your-site.com:5222/app
```

## Use your own domain for delivering videos and images

For delivery, a custom domain allows you to play videos or deliver images from your domain rather than stream.mux.com or images.mux.com. Use your own domain for delivery, such as `media.mycustomdomain.com`

Why might you be interested in this feature? If you want to have a consistent brand presence across all your assets, sandbox your videos, or have a need to be allowlisted. If you are interested in this feature, please reach out to your Mux Account team.
