CNAME Records and Custom Domain Configuration in Boomstream
For more detailed technical information about how CNAME records work, please refer to the Wikipedia article on CNAME.
⚠️ Important Note on Domain Verification
Attention: Boomstream periodically verifies parked domains. If an automated check detects an incorrect or missing CNAME record, your media files, screenshots, and the player will temporarily revert to default Boomstream system domains until the DNS configuration is corrected and successfully verified.
