Webinar Control Center

• The Stream Key is located on the left side in “Stream Settings” (click Copy)
  • You will need to paste the stream key into your streaming client (usually OBS) to stream Live
• Chat
  • Positioned on the right side
  • If you plan to read chat from here, I suggest switching from Top Chat to Live Chat.
  • Pro Tip: You might want to open the webinar on your tablet to read chat, but ensure it's set to Live Chat, not Top Chat
• Go Live!
  • Button is located at the top right. When you press this button, your live stream will start and the audience can see your stream.
  • The Go Live button will become enabled when YouTube receives a data stream (such as from OBS).
  • This button will change to End Stream once you are live. Click it when you are done with the presentaiton.

Note: Usually, our YouTube meetings are set to automatically record, but double-check that Enable DVR is on!.

Note: You can change the Latency (bottom left) but ultra-low does require a lot of bandwidth!
