Set-Up

To go live, you need the following:

• Desktop computer or laptop

• The latest version of Chrome or Safari browser

• Web camera

• Stable internet connection to avoid lags and delays. We recommend using a hard-wired connection (ethernet).

• A pair of headphones to avoid echo and feedback

Multi-streaming overview

With Multi-streaming, you can stream to multiple destinations simultaneously. This can be a combination of the following:

• Amazon channel;

• Your Facebook timeline, Facebook pages or groups you manage;

• Your YouTube channel;

• TikTok;
• Instagram;

• Your LinkedIn profile OR organization;

• Custom RTMP destination.

⚠️ Note: It is not possible to stream to multiple YouTube channels simultaneously. You can only go live on one YouTube channel at a time.
