How to show Vimeo live video stream in native iOS app

Vimeo has released the live video stream service. But I cannot find a live stream url in Video settings in Vimeo. I use HLS link to show normal Vimeo stream videos in AVPlayer and that works. Where can I find the url for live stream video on Vimeo? Is it possible to show live stream video on iOS app or must I embed webView to show Vimeo live video?

I know it's a long time ago since the question was published, but maybe someone can benefit from this.

Vimeo has a tutorial on their site https://developer.vimeo.com/api/live/playback. How to get the HLS link to the live video.

One major drawback is, to qualify for the Vimeo Live API you must be a Vimeo Enterprise customer or a Vimeo development partner.

Simple answer: for now, Vimeo Live can only be used with the Vimeo embedded player. Vimeo does not offer an HLS or other external link/streaming link for Live events.

Those direct file links are only available for uploaded complete videos.
