Creating a New Stream

To schedule a new stream, follow these steps:

  1. Schedule a New Stream:

    • Click on the Schedule a new stream button to start the stream creation process.

  2. Select Stream Type:

    • Choose between the following options:
      • RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol)
      • SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)

  3. Fill Out the Stream Details:

    • Stream Type: Select your preferred streaming method (RTMP or SRT).
    • Output Quality Profile: Select the appropriate quality from the available options

    Note
    For the best experience, match the input quality to the output profile. For example, if you are producing 1920x1080 content, choose a 1080p profile.

    • Title: Enter the title for your stream.
    • Channels: Select the channels where the stream will be broadcasted. Possible to include multiple channels.
    • Category: Choose the category for the stream—for example: match, interview, etc. You may include multiple categories.
    • Associate with Match: If the stream is associated with a match, select the match.
    • Pre-roll and Post-roll (for Video on Demand only):
      • Pre-roll: Choose a pre-roll option to include content before the livestream starts.
      • Post-roll: Choose a post-roll option to include content after the livestream ends.

    Note
    Pre-roll and post-roll are only available for Video on Demand after the livestream.

    • Broadcast Start Time: Set the approximate time for when users should tune in to the stream.

    Note
    Users can tune in as soon as the input is received. Ensure any pre-stream testing is done on a separate, unpublished stream.

    • Maximum Duration: Reserve a duration for the stream.
    • Thumbnail: Choose how to set the thumbnail for the stream — auto-generated or customized.
    • Publish Options:
      • Not Published: The video will be unlisted and can be changed later.
      • Publish Immediately: Publish the video as soon as it is created.

    ⚙️ Final Step:

    After the stream is created, you will receive an RTMP/SRT URL and a Stream Key.
    Copy these values and paste them into your streaming software or hardware, such as OBS Studio or your camera's streaming setup.

  4. Create or Cancel:

    • After filling out all the details, click Create to schedule the stream, or click Cancel if you need to abort the process.
