Can I use Cloudflare R2 and Cloudflare CDN to serve HLS video segments? I always hear about ToS issues with Cloudflare and video. I can never seem to find a straight answer.



They created this document for those exclusively using CF services for hosting content including Video: https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-developer-...

In particular the following line should enable it:

> Unlike most Cloudflare products, the Developer Platform can be used to host content.

Also see https://blog.cloudflare.com/updated-tos/

> Over time, Cloudflare’s network became larger and more robust and its portfolio broadened to include services like Stream, Images, and R2. These services are explicitly designed to allow customers to serve non-HTML content like video, images, and other large files hosted directly by Cloudflare.

> Video and large files hosted outside of Cloudflare will still be restricted on our CDN, but we think that our service features, generous free tier, and competitive pricing (including zero egress fees on R2) make for a compelling package for developers that want to access the reach and performance of our network.

(of course this is not legal advice)


This really cleared things up for me, thank you!
