So you’ve heard Zoom can stream your events to social media, but after digging through
the seemingly endless Zoom settings you still can’t get it to work.
Well you’re in the right place!
In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to set up your Zoom Webinars or Meetings
to go live on all of your end platforms at once!
So let’s get right into it.
To get started, we first need to enable live streaming of Meetings or Webinars.
To do that, sign in to the Zoom web portal and make sure you’re the account administrator
with the privilege to edit settings.
Once you’re logged in, click Settings from the left hand side.
On the Meeting tab under the In Meeting (Advanced) section, locate the Allow live streaming of
meetings setting, and verify that it’s enabled.
Also, make sure to check the Custom Live Streaming Service option.
Just under that setting you should see Allow live streaming of webinars.
Make sure that’s enabled as well with the Custom Live Service option checked.
Now let’s take a look at how to set up the destinations for your Zoom Meetings.
Note, Zoom Webinars are a bit different.If you’re looking for those, jump to this <point
to timecode> timecode to skip ahead.
From the top right click Schedule A Meeting.
Now fill out all of the required information to schedule a meeting and click save.
Scroll down to reveal the Live Streaming tab, then click Configure Custom Streaming Service.
From here, you’ll want to enter in your Restream settings.
For this tutorial, I’m going to be using the new RTMP feature in Restream Studio and
entering in that data so I stream there.
To grab that, open up Restream Studio and click the plus icon from the bottom of the
webcam.
From the window that opens, you’ll want to select RTMP source.
Remember, you’ll need a paid Restream plan for this.
Now copy and paste this information into your Zoom Stream configuration.
For the URL, you can put any of your platforms where the stream will go live such as YouTube
or Facebook.
Now the host will be able to live stream this meeting without needing to add these settings
after the meeting begins.
