# Step 7: Create an HLS output group
<a name="getting-started-step5"></a>

Once you have set up the input, you continue with the channel creation by creating an output group. In this tutorial, you set up an HLS output group.

**To create an output group**

1. On the **Create channel** page, in the **Output groups** section, choose **Add**. 

1. In the **Add output group** section, choose **HLS**, and then choose **Confirm**. 

1. In the **HLS group destination A** section, for **URL**, enter the first input URL that AWS Elemental MediaPackage created for you in [Step 2: Set up the downstream system](getting-started-step2.md). For example, **https://39fuo4.mediapackage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/in/v1/88dpie/channel**``. 

1. For **Credentials**:
   + For **Username**, enter the user name that corresponds to this URL. For example, **ue739wuty**. 
   + For **Password**, choose **Create parameter**. For **Name**, enter **DestinationA-MyHLS**. For **Password**, enter the password that corresponds to the URL. For example, **due484u**.

1. Choose **Create parameter**.

   You have created a parameter called **DestinationA-MyHLS** that holds the password **due484u**. The parameter is stored in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. For more information, see [About the feature for creating password parameters](requirements-for-EC2.md#about-EC2Password).

1. For **HLS group destination B**, for **URL**, enter the second input URL that AWS Elemental MediaPackage created for you in [Step 2: Set up the downstream system](getting-started-step2.md). For example, **https://mgu654.mediapackage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/in/v1/xmm9s/channel**. 

1. For **Credentials**:
   + For **Username**, enter the user name that corresponds to this URL. For example, **883hdux**. 
   + For **Password**, choose **Create parameter**. For **Name**, enter **DestinationB-MyHLS**. For **Password**, enter the password that corresponds to the URL. For example, **634hjik**.

1. Choose **Create parameter**.

   You have created a parameter called **DestinationB-MyHLS** that holds the password **634hjik**. The parameter is stored in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. 

1. In the **HLS settings** section, for **Name**, enter **MyHLS**. 

1. For **CDN settings**, choose **Hls webdav**. This is the connection that AWS Elemental MediaPackage (the downstream system for the channel output) uses. 

   Leave the defaults for all the other **CDN settings** fields.

1. For all other fields in this pane, keep the default values.
