Can I use Cloudflare Workers with a basic plan to enhance video streaming from an origin server?

Yes, Cloudflare Workers can be used on a basic plan to add custom logic to your video streaming workflow. For instance, you could use Workers to implement serverless authentication for your video files, rewrite request headers to enforce specific caching policies, or even modify HLS/DASH manifest files on the fly for advanced use cases (e.g., regional content restrictions, ad insertion markers). While Workers provide powerful customization, be mindful of their execution limits and cost implications, especially for high-volume video traffic.
