Setup Channels

Select the platforms you wish to use for your livestream(s). The main streaming platforms we offer are Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, Zoom, and Instagram Live.

Input your broadcast channel URLs to configure your livestreaming platforms. We'll use this to automatically keep your schedule up to date and point viewers to the right platforms when you go live.

Set Streaming Schedule

Press +Add A Stream Date and add the following information for your new livestream date:

• Stream Event Name

• Stream Description (Optional but Highly Recommended): Let your viewers know what you'll be livestreaming.

• Stream Start Date: Enter the date and time when your stream will start.

• Stream Duration (Optional but Highly Recommended): Give your viewers an idea of how long or short your stream will be live.

• Is this a reoccurring stream that repeats weekly on these days? Toggle Repeats Weekly, if so.

Customize RSVP

Select the channel which people will be prompted to subscribe to when a user RSVPs. They’ll receive a push notification on their preferred streaming app, helping drive mobile viewers directly to your stream when you’re live.

Fans can stay organized by adding your upcoming broadcast to their Google, iCal, or Outlook calendar. These features save viewers the frustration of having to hunt for the details of your upcoming streams.

Customize Landing Page

Upload a featured image for your livestream. Recommended sizes: landscape (minimum 1024x768 pixels) or square (minimum 1000x1000 pixels).

You have the option to customize a page background image otherwise the default will be a blurred background of your featured image. Recommended size for a custom background: 1440x1024 pixels.
