How to open/add a new live event?
Live events are managed in the "Media" module, under the "Live" tab.
Adding a new live event is done from the “+add” button.
Once created, select the live event and edit its name, and details.
You can assign it to be a part of a category and add a custom thumbnail for it.
After opening the live event, make sure you choose you custom stream to use before going live!
The "Permissions" tab
On the “Permissions” tab:
- You’ll be able to change the privacy of your live event - To be either public or private.
Add monetization, by adding a price or package to the event (if your payment gateways have already been set up).
Bamboo Pro Tip: We recommend setting start and end dates for your live events,
once set, the platform will add a countdown timer to your event,
and we will automatically record and ingest it after the session is done.
New!
We recently added new "Start Live" and "End Live" buttons,
by using these button, you can automatically set a "start time" to the exact moment you start your live event, and "end time" to the moment you finished, to make your automatic recording extra accurate!
If you schedule the times in advance, please note the start and end dates are in UTC.
Contact us to change it to your timezone.
The "Stream info" tab
On the “Stream info” tab, you can find your “Broadcast Server Url” and “Stream Name”.
Bamboo Pro Tip: In order to “Go Live” you will need a streaming software, you can use any streaming software you'd like.
We recommend using“OBS”, it’s a free software and it's easy to work with.
In OBS (or your streaming software) click on the "Settings" button and go to the “Stream” tab.
Insert your stream information.
Bamboo Pro Tip: There are many names for these settings but for most,
“Broadcast Server Url” is the “Server” and “Stream Name” is the “Stream Key”.
Now, click “Start streaming”, on your streaming software, you should see it playing in Bamboo within 30 seconds.
Don’t forget to stop streaming when you're done.
The "Player" tab
As always, the player tab is where you get your embed code.
The embed code is what you need to place your video, or in this case, live event, where you like!
If you set up more than 1 channel, don't forget to choose the exact one that you like for the event!
