How to stream your Crowdcast event to Facebook, YouTube, and other third party services.
There are plenty of social media platforms that will help you get exposure for your live video streams. However, sites like Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn, and Twitch don't allow you to collect the emails of your attendees, bring them on-screen, run paid events, or many of the other features we have here at Crowdcast.
With multistreaming, you can share your Crowdcast event on multiple channels. You should still ask viewers to join you in Crowdcast to take advantage of features like using the Ask a Question section, joining the chat, and coming up on-screen. By using multistream, you can start taking the audience that the social media algorithms own, and collect emails so YOU own the relationship with your audience.
You can set up your multistreams at any point before going live.
On our Pro Plan, you can multistream to one location. On the Business Plan, you can multistream to up to three locations simultaneously.
In this document, we'll explain how multistreaming works and how to set it up on Crowdcast. Sites like Facebook and LinkedIn often change their live set up, so you'll need to follow their instructions to collect the stream keys you need.
Click on the Facebook button within the multistream section of editing your event, then click Create Live Stream on the pop-up, and follow the instructions on the Facebook site.
Facebook will provide you with a Server URL and Stream Key and you enter them as shown below.
Next, select the session of your event that you want to stream to Facebook and paste in the Server URL and Stream Key as shown below and hit done.
