How to live stream in 5 simple steps


Everyone knows that starting a live streaming platform is as simple as ABC with periscope clones. Now that you have a live streaming platform, how do you live stream, and what are the technical details? Not to worry! We've got your back! So, let's get into the specifics of creating a live stream.


  • Connect your audio and video sources first: It is necessary to physically connect them to your primary live streaming setup (the PC or laptop). Connect these sources to your hardware encoder or, if you have a software encoder, a capture card to feed the content into your Livestream station.


  • Set up the encoder: If you're using an external encoder, you'll need to set it up using an app or a web interface. You can leave the configuration settings for software encoders alone because the software will automatically adjust to the streaming platform. Keep the following three points in mind when configuring your encoder:

    • To begin, your video's resolution or frame size must be 1280 x720.

    • Set the bit rate, or upload rate, to 3000 Kbps.

    • Finally, the frame rate (number of images/frames displayed per second) must be at least 30.


  • Connect to the streaming service: You can now incorporate your streaming platform into the mix using the audio and video setup of your Livestream station. Enter the streaming key/name and streaming URL provided by your live streaming platform into the encoder to complete your live streaming setup. This enables the streaming platform to identify your encoder. The encoder, on the other hand, knows where to send the audio and visual information.


  • Check your internet connection: The elephant in the room for streaming is your internet connection. Slow streaming equals unreliable internet connection, which can cause you to lose viewers quickly. Begin by testing your internet speed with a site like Speedtest.net to avoid losing views.

Here are a few more pointers to help you maintain a stable internet connection.

  • Increase the amount of data you can upload or your bandwidth to the maximum available.

  • Request that any other family members, roommates, or coworkers with whom you share your space remain offline during your stream.

  • Use your mobile phone's hotspot as a last resort.

  • Examine your technology, particularly the audio and video quality.


  • Begin streaming: Once everything is in place, launch the show by clicking start streaming in your encoder! Remember that it's normal to be nervous the first time you go live. If you run a few practices runs before the live data, you'll be fine. You'll be able to enjoy the process in no time with some forethought and a few live streaming sessions under your belt.


Finally, broadcast like a pro! I hope you're ready to dive in and share your story live now that you know how to live stream.
