Create a stream with Live Studio (in beta) and go live with your camera, on your own or with guests.
From a saved video
Upload it, or bring it in from a shared Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive link under Media Library, Upload file, Import from link.

Then add your platforms, up to 10 per stream, in the stream wizard or later in Live Studio under Destinations.
