Your first broadcast

From your video library to your first live show

Start with a short broadcast and check it on your channel before building a recurring schedule.

  1. 01 Step 1

    Choose one useful set of videos

    Pick content that belongs together: a tutorial series, interviews on one topic or recent episodes. Upload it and arrange the playlist.

  2. 02 Step 2

    Connect the channel your audience uses

    Connect YouTube or add your destination with its stream key. Enable live streaming on the platform first if it is not already available.

  3. 03 Step 3

    Run a short broadcast, then schedule the next

    Set the title and thumbnail, start the stream and check the public broadcast. When the setup works, schedule the next slot and tell your audience when it airs.
