Q: Live Streaming
Hi there, I have checked the video on how to do the settings to add Facebook, Youtube etc. I use Streamyard and we can schedule the live stream well ahead to ensure broadcast room is ready for stream and all destinations are connected. Is it similar to Streamyard? On the tutorial video, it seems we need to add the stream keys from Facebook/Youtube during the meeting and it goes live then and there which has no control to understand when we are live actually. Please kindly advise.

Edited Nov 9, 2024A: Dear Sayed,
We have provision to setup the live stream well in advance from our dashboard by storing the stream key as part of the meetings.
You need to schedule the live stream in YouTube and Facebook and paste the keys in Meet Hour, so you know the stream URLs well in advance.
Moreover, our system has provision to Auto Start Live Streaming & Auto Start Recording feature for our regular customers, but if you are interested we can offer that option for you in Tier 3 to automatically start the Live Streaming as soon as the Meeting Starts. Let us know.
Thank you so much for your response.
Sorry, I am not a techy person. So what I understood is -
- I can setup the live stream well in advance using stream key. It is just a one-off setting for all future streams, am I correct?
- To schedule live stream and get the URLs, I need to do it on manually on Facebook / Youtube. I think this is fine.
Please if you could kindly answer these 2 points?
- Regarding auto start streaming and recording, do you mean the live stream will start automatically as soon as the meeting starts or I will have control when to start the live stream? Ideally, you want everyone to be ready to start the stream in the meeting room.
Please kindly advise.
The feature "Auto Start LiveStreaming" automatically starts as soon as you join the call. That's why we suggest people to go with manual live streaming. Check this - https://kb.meethour.io/article/how-to-do-a-live-stream-on-meet-hour
