Starting Live Stream(s)

Once streamers’ accounts are created, they can start using it for multistream. There are several ways it can be done with Streamster:

1. Streamster desktop app. The all-in-one solution to create and broadcast the live video to multiple platforms at once. Using the Streamster desktop app by the content creator gives Business Studio admin more possibilities to control the stream. 

To start using the Streamster desktop app, the content creator needs to download and install it. Once the user launches the app with the credentials provided by the Business Studio admin, the information about the stream is available in the Business Studio dashboard. More info about using the Streamster desktop app can be found here. 

2. OBS or other streaming party software can also be used by the content creator together with the Streamster web app. In this case, the streamer broadcasts the live video to the Streamster server and manages streaming platforms in the browser as it is described here. 

To start using the service, the content creator needs to log in to Streamster web app with the credentials provided by the Business Studio admin, set up streaming channels (otherwise, they can be set up by the admin), and start streaming to the Streamster server. After that, the live stream is available in the Business Studio dashboard to be monitored and controlled.

3. Streamster mobile app. The content creator also can use the mobile device as a live video source. Once it is downloaded from the App Store or Google play, the streamer can launch it with the credentials provided by the Business Studio admin to make the stream available in the Business Studio dashboard. More info about using the Streamster mobile app can be found here.
