Live Stream

To transmit your alfaview video directly to a streaming platform, click on Recording & Streaming in the status menu. A selection window will open where you can configure settings and choose whether to start a Local Recording or a Live Stream.

If Recording & Streaming is not displayed in the status menu, the feature has to be activated for the room first. To do so, use the room features in the administration or directly in the host tools in the status menu of the room.
