For simple live streams you can go live from your Chrome browser, at any time, with no additional software required.
From your Studio's Dashboard click on Live Stream from Browser.
Click on Connect Device.
The browser will then ask for permission to access your camera and / or microphones.
Select "Allow when visiting this site."
If you activated your video camera, you should now see your image within the preview window.
Below the window you will see your stream from browser settings.
From here you can select which audio and / or video devices you will use.
You can set your audio bitrate, if you are doing an audio-only live stream.
Alternatively, you can set your video bitrate and resolution for your live video stream, as well as the audio bitrate for the audio within the video broadcast.
Following the live stream a recording of the broadcast, in whole or in part, can be added to your ondemand archive and playlist.
