I’ve managed to stream to the server, but I don’t know how to actually access and link the stream to other people.

Hi,

You would provide a playback URL in a player, such as a web embedded player like [JW Player.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine)

There are [example playback urls given here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder#playback) for other types of players, such as desktop and mobile players.

Hello,

A RTSP URL format would look like this:

rtsp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4

_Source_: [How to playback on RTSP/RTP players](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-playback-on-rtsp-rtp-players)

As for your question regarding entering the a URL into the Safari web browser, it would look like this:

URL: http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8

The Apple iPhone 3GS (and older) and iPod touch devices require that video be encoded using H.264 format (Baseline profile level 3 or lower) and AAC or MP3 stereo audio.

This stream can also be played by using the Safari web browser or QuickTime 10.x on a computer that’s running OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6 or later.

Source: [How to playback on Apple iOS devices (Cupertino/Apple HLS)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-playback-on-apple-ios-devices-cupertino-apple-hls%28Cupertino-Apple-HLS%29)

Hope this helps.
