Gated Livestream

How to share, record, and even gate a Livestream on Bonfire.

Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Go to Content > Livestream
2. The first time you go live, you’ll need to set up your stream by giving it a name and description (optional)
3. After setting up your stream, you’ll be given a Server URL and Stream Key. These credentials are how you’ll connect your Bonfire Stream to the broadcasting software of your choosing (e.g. OBS or StreamLabs)
4. To connect the broadcasting software or to Bonfire, you’ll be asked to input your Server URL and Stream Key
5. Copy-paste these credentials from your dashboard, which you can find beneath your stream in the Livestream tab

4. Now that you’ve connected the broadcasting software to Bonfire, you can start streaming. Use software to control the stream and click Start Streaming once you’re ready
5. Go back to Bonfire to view your stream (this might take a minute to load)

6. Go to Pages, choose a page or create a new one and then go Back to Studio Menu > Blocks and add a Livestream block to the page
7. Add any block to your page to customize it and don’t forget to fill out your page settings
8. Make sure you’ve filled out your page Settings and chosen your Style, all found under the Studio Menu
9. Click Publish
