Example of video playback with Cloudflare Stream and Shaka Player

Last updated Apr 21, 2026 First, create a video element, using the poster attribute to set a preview thumbnail image. Refer to Display thumbnails for instructions on how to generate a thumbnail image using Cloudflare Stream.

<video
    id="video"
    width="640"
    poster="https://customer-f33zs165nr7gyfy4.cloudflarestream.com/6b9e68b07dfee8cc2d116e4c51d6a957/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg"
    controls
    autoplay
></video>

Then listen for DOMContentLoaded event, create a new instance of Shaka Player, and load the manifest URI.

// Replace the manifest URI with an HLS or DASH manifest from Cloudflare Stream
const manifestUri =
    'https://customer-f33zs165nr7gyfy4.cloudflarestream.com/6b9e68b07dfee8cc2d116e4c51d6a957/manifest/video.mpd';

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const video = document.getElementById('video');
  const player = new shaka.Player(video);
    await player.load(manifestUri);
});

Refer to the Shaka Player documentation ↗︎ for more information.
