What is a live stream?
One person broadcasts and many people watch: a camera chat, a screen or a game. Viewers do not speak, they write in the chat. That is the difference from a voice room, where everybody talks.
Who can go live?
You need streamer rights. Send a streamer application; once approved your account gets a streaming badge and the 📺 button appears in WebChat. Rules and requirements: Streaming rules.
How do I start a stream?
- In WebChat press 📺 Go live.
- Choose the source: camera, screen or game. You can also stream audio only.
- The browser asks for camera/microphone or screen permission; allow it.
- The stream starts and LIVE shows at the top. Press End stream to finish.
Screen and game streams need a desktop browser; you can stream with the camera from a phone. Streamers who go live with a game receive the Gamer badge.
How do viewers watch?
