How do I start and manage a live stream?

Stream Studio allows you to prepare and manage your live auction stream from one workspace. You can configure your layout, camera and audio before broadcasting, then manage the available stream controls while the auction is live.

Start and Manage Your Live Stream

Step 1: Select the required layout and configure your camera, microphone and presentation audio. Camera cropping, resizing and positioning should be completed before the auction starts.

Step 2: Use the Preview to check how your stream will appear before going live.

Step 3: When the auction is ready, select Start Broadcasting to begin the live stream.

Step 4: During the live stream, switch between the available layouts and camera views as required.

Step 5: Manage the available microphone, presentation audio and other stream controls as required during the auction.

Step 6: Use the Preview and available stream statistics to monitor the stream while continuing to manage the auction.


Helpful Tip

Opening Stream Studio does not automatically start the broadcast. Before selecting Start Broadcasting, check your camera, audio and layout, and make sure the correct presentation is selected for your online audience. Any changes made after broadcasting starts will be visible to your audience.
