Most Android devices support Apple HLS. Some support RTSP. I have not seen any Android devices support RTMP natively. You would likely need an application to play back RTMP on your Android device. We can provide no recommendations for RTMP or RTSP players on Android.

The article below provides a list of how to form your URL for your specific player.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/understanding-streaming-protocols-and-output-file-formats](https://www.wowza.com/docs/understanding-streaming-protocols-and-output-file-formats)

For example:

**RTMP:** rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream

**RTSP:** rtsp://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream

**Apple HLS:** http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8

**MPEG-DASH:** http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream/manifest.mpd

**Adobe HDS:** http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream/manifest.f4m

**Microsoft Smooth Streaming:** http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream/Manifest
