Now that we have our Event scheduled, we can define where we want to send our rendered Event.

Outputs

The outputs section located in the right section of the Control Room shows the rendered output video for the selected Event.

It is possible to update the default created Output or create additional Outputs, but for this guide let’s leave the default Output in place.

For more information on Outputs see Outputs

For more information on the Output content window see Output content window

Distributions

We can now create a Distribution to send our rendered Output to social platforms or custom endpoints, like an RTMP server.

There are two options to create the Distributions:

  • Directly in the Control Room

  • Using the Sharing URL, to create an external link to share with the owner of the target social accounts

Creating Distributions from the Control Room

  1. Press Add Distribution, then select from the list of social platforms or custom endpoints

  2. Fill out the displayed form with the desired options
    An important option to note is the selected Program, which can be set to All Programs from your Schedule, or just one specific Program

  3. Remember to Save Changes to confirm the new Distribution

Your Distribution will start sending video at the time of the Event, or soon before the Event if a Countdown has been specified

For more detailed information on creating distributions, see Distribution to Facebook, YouTube or Twitch or Distribution to RTMP, RTP or HLS

Sharing URL

  1. Select the Select the Sharing URL button

  2. You can now share this link with a user that doesn’t have access to the Push Console, for them to log into the target social account and create Distributions
    This enables Push to stream to the target account, channel or page, without the owner of the account needing to share their credentials with you
    See Create a share using the Sharing URL for more information on the end user process
