- Zoom, it's a powerful tool
that you may be using for meetings
but did you know that you can use Zoom
to live stream to YouTube, Facebook
and other places as well?
Hello, I'm Alan Spicer, your YouTube-certified expert
and I use Zoom all the time
to do channel audits with vidIQ.
It's a meeting platform where you host a meeting,
they join in, you can video chat,
you can even share screens
but did you know that you could live stream
that meeting or even use Zoom
as your platform for you to live stream yourself,
share your screen, do your own channel audits,
maybe show your recipes, that kind of thing.
Using Zoom gives you the opportunity
to screen share, show what you're doing,
share to the world generally how you're feeling,
maybe walk your way through a process,
a tutorial, a webinar.
Let's go to the computer.
To get started, you click New Meeting.
At this point, you get to see my fluffy face.
Now, we get to go full screen.
So you get to see my face,
I'm talking to the webcam and this is Zoom.
Now, if you've never used Zoom before
that's perfectly fine.
Most people have found it pretty much in the last month.
Now, what you do is you go down to the bar down here
and what you can do is have a look at what participants,
who's in here.
You can invite people.
You can control who happens to be in here.
So if there's someone in a meeting
that you wanna mute, then if you wanna just talk yourself,
then you can do so.
You can screen share by using the little button down here.
And you pick a screen.
This is available.
And you'll see in this case,
it moves me to the right-hand side of the screen
and I can draw things.
So anyone in the meeting will be able to see this.
Or if I have a screen open like Facebook, for example,
or a browser, I can share that browser
and then once again, I'm in the top right-hand corner.
You can see all my tabs and stuff like that.
You can see my channel analytics.
Now, one thing you can do is live stream.
What you do is you go into your settings.
Go to Profile, View Advanced Features.
Now, in your Settings, if you scroll all the way down
to the bottom, just above the email settings.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
There's your email notification.
Just above, you'll see allow live streaming meetings.
If you click over,
you can choose which platforms you want to live stream to.
Facebook, for example, YouTube.
You could do Facebook and YouTube
or you could do Workplace by Facebook.
Or you can use a custom streaming service, which is here.
See, I'm gonna click Facebook for this time
and I click Save.
Now, I go back to the Zoom.
And I click New Meeting, I enter full screen,
you will now see under more options Live on Facebook.
So once you've got everybody in,
you've invited them in, you are ready,
you've got all of your graphics and stuff like that.
You click Live on Facebook.
It'll ask you to choose what timeline you want
to share it onto,
your timelines, a group and events,
share to a page that you manage.
I'm gonna share onto my timeline.
It then connects Zoom to Facebook Live.
And if you use the new Live Producer,
you'll click Next.
You can use a key stream, you can use paired encoder.
Click Next.
You'll now see here,
this is what I was talking about two, three seconds ago.
You can use a key stream.
And you can see here the audio quality
is 126.4 kilobytes per second.
You can see the video is 2.1 megabits per second.
And if you click on the arrow down here,
you can have a look at all of the important coding settings
and my stream is in the bottom right-hand corner
so you can see where it goes.
What you would do on the left-hand side
is fill in the name, the title of the live stream,
the description of the live stream.
You choose whether or not it's to friends
or to public or where you was to share it to.
Timeline, page you manage or a group.
And when you're ready, you are ready to live stream
from Zoom to Facebook or YouTube or anywhere else.
You click Go Live and you are done.
