Live Stream Your Webex Meetings or Events
Live stream your Webex meetings or events using Facebook Live, IBM Video Streaming, YouTube Live, Vbrick Rev, or any other streaming service. There's nothing to download or install. This allows you to connect with large audiences. Your meetings can have multiple hosts who can engage in a conversation and screen share.
If you're on a paid Webex Meetings or Webex Events plan and live streaming is enabled, you can live stream by using any streaming service that supports Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) and Real-Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS) streams. The audio, video, and shared content are live streamed.
This feature requires Cisco Webex video platform version 2.0. To find out which version you’re using, see Find Your Cisco Webex Meetings Version Number.
You can live stream each Webex meeting or event to one live streaming service.
Your Webex administrator must enable live streaming.
Sharing a whiteboard and sharing a file using Share File, including sharing a video file, aren’t supported while live streaming.
Make sure that you have signed in to the streaming service and become familiar with the process of live streaming well before you intend to live stream your meeting or event. |
