Broadcast

info

Eyeson supports broadcasting to a single RTMP destination. For multicasting to multiple platforms simultaneously, please utilize a third-party restream service that can distribute your stream to multiple destinations.

Start broadcast​

To connect an Eyeson room with a broadcast (like facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and similar) you have to provide a valid streaming RTMP url.
