# Creating Video Stream Content from a Skykit App

Skykit supports streaming video in the following formats:

- HLS (HTTP Live Streaming): URL must end with .m3u8 (for example, [**https://someurl.com/yourvideo.m3u8**).](https://someurl.com/yourvideo.m3u8).)
- DASH (MPEG Dash) Streaming: URL must end with .mpd (for example, [**https://someurl.com/yourvideo.mpd**).](https://someurl.com/yourvideo.mpd).)
- RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol): URL must start with rtsp (for example, **rtsp://someurl.com/somevideo**)
- Chrome-Supported Streaming: URL should point directly to your streaming video

To create a video stream app:

1. In Beam, click + CONTENT, then Apps

> If you are an Administrator, you can find Stream under All Apps, then connect it. If you are not and Administrator, you will need to ask one to add the Stream App here or on the [App Management](/v1/docs/add-and-manage-apps-in-skykit-beam) page.

1. Enter your Stream URL, select a duration, and click Next.

2. Name your Stream and create.

Optional: Choose a timeout duration. This is how long your Display will wait for the page to load before showing fallback content.
