+## About
+This is a simple static webpage that simplifies testing and experiments with HLS output from Amazon Kinesis Video Streams.
+
+## Getting Started
+The easiest and recommended approach is to use the Github-hosted version of this project. The second method is to clone/download this project and host it in your own S3 bucket or even locally.
+
+### Using the Github-hosted UI
+Because the project is a collection of static HTML and JavaScript, you can use the application without deploying the code into your own AWS account.
+
+ To get started, go to the hosted [Kinesis Video Streams HLS Viewer](https://awslabs.github.io/amazon-kinesis-video-streams/).
