Video livestreams
Video livestreams are the right choice when you want to reach a wide audience or need a seamless integration with talque. They're also perfect when you want to share your live events on other social media platforms.
For livestreaming, you send your encoded live video (via RTMP) to a streaming platform like Vimeo or YouTube Live. The streaming platform transcodes and compresses it into different video formats and resolutions. As a result, attendees can watch the video stream on a wide range of mobile devices and browsers.
Livestream credentials consist of an RTMPS URL and stream key for transmitting your content to the streaming platform, plus an embed link for embedding the transcoded content in talque.
Livestream production
There are several ways to produce livestreams — with different technical requirements and effort:
- Professional hardware encoders
- Studio software from video software providers
- Self-produced via a Zoom video call with speakers
Embed a livestream in talque
To embed a livestream in talque, you need the embed link from your streaming platform and paste it into the session profile under Video > Session Video.
Since livestreams typically span several consecutive sessions — e.g., a full afternoon — we recommend the “Video can be watched after session start” option. You can also add a preview thumbnail to your livestream and choose “Video can be watched at any time” for the first session of the day.
If you've booked a livestream from us, we provide the embed link along with the RTMP credentials. If you use your own streaming provider, you'll need to get the embed link from that provider.
