Hi everyone.
Has someone embedded a live stream in his/her website? can you recommend what tool should I use for this and how to do it?

Thank you!

Hi @Naama

@PixelGeek might be able to advise here, he’s been livestreaming his personal site rebuild recently, using some multistream services.

Where will the main stream come from, Youtube/Twitch/other ?

Good question @StuM, not sure about the answer, my client will decide about this.

It depends on the service you’ll be using. If it’s youtube, you can just put the link to the live video in your video component.

Hi @PixelGeek, what if it’s something like livestream.com or https://www.crowdcast.io?

@Naama The URL should still work, like it does with YouTube. It makes you wait for the live stream to start before you see anything. it won’t activate the live stream until your specified time to go live ofcourse.

Heyo. I want to just add to this (in case someone finds this wondering like me) that YouTube’s live page gives you a link like https://youtube.com/live/[letters]?feature=share. This link won’t work for an YouTube embed. However, if you simply follow the link to the page, it changes into something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[letters]. That’s all you need for it to work.
