Thanks for sharing the screenshots @Abdulrahman Rudwan.

The problem is in the host address settings for the SDK you entered the rtmp:// part of the whole host address. I know it seems that you enter the entire thing, but you only enter the [8d76d8.entrypoint.wowza.cloud.wowza.com](http://8d76d8.entrypoint.wowza.cloud.wowza.com)

Try that and let me know if that works for you. Just remove the rtmp:// part and it should work.

Hello @Abdulrahman Rudwan

For security reasons of protecting your Wowza Streaming Cloud live stream info, I would recommend deleting your live stream and creating a new one.

Then forward on your updated screenshots and code within a Wowza support ticket here:

[https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket)

Looking forward to resolving this connection issue within a support ticket!

Regards,

JasonT
