Yes, in order to play and watch the DASH and HLS streaming formats, you need a player that supports playing the DASH and HLS media formats. If you have another player in mind you can use it to play and watch the live streaming. However, unlike Inlive Player, other players don't monitor the user streaming experience. So, you will have missing analytics data on your live stream page in the Inlive Studio.
