Livestreaming using RTMP

Various livestreaming services offer the use of an RTMP endpoint, follow along this guide to learn how to properly set up an RTMP stream on Engagez.

Setting Up the Stream

1. Click on Sessions in the Administer tab.

2. Click on Manage Livestream.

3. The Manage Livestream menu is where you set up the stream.

4. Click on New US to set up a new stream.

Note: only choose New US if you are streaming in the United States. If you are located elsewhere, choose either New Europe or New India, whichever is closer.

5. Next, type in a name for the stream. This name is only shown on the backend, your attendees will not see this name.

6. Next, you can choose if you want to use the Low Latency setting. Please review our Low Latency Article for more information.

7. Then, click Create. If you go back to the Manage Livestream menu, you can find the stream information by searching the dropdown menu.

Once you have found the stream, you can get the RTMP Encoder Connection Settings by clicking the Encoder Connection Settings button.

Then, you can view the RTMP Connection information you need to stream from a third party provider.

How to Start the Stream

Once you are ready to begin the stream, click Start Live Stream in the Manage Livestream menu.

Note: This may take a few minutes, so we suggest starting the stream early.

Then, click Continue.

Once the stream is open, you will see a box labeled Live Stream which will show the current broadcast.

Once you are ready to end the livestream, click Stop Live Stream.

Then, click Continue.
