The function of streaming domain name is to provide Tencent cloud with the url of a streaming server, which is used for users watching Live broadcast to access Live broadcast resources.
After having a domain name, you can add configuration through the domain name management page of Tencent-cloud Live console.

file list of m3u8 can be viewed. The slice list in m3u8 also exists under the same domain name as m3u8, but Tencent
console cannot view the slice list. There is a difference with Tencent-cloud. Tencent-cloud can set storage to object
storage, but Tencent-cloud can only store it under the cloud VOD module. please reference to blow pages:
