How to Stream a Prerecorded Video

1. Navigate the Business portal and select "Create Livestream Event." Next, choose "Media Assets" as your media source and pick a video that you would like to use for the event.
                                            
2. To begin importing and transcoding a new video, click on "Choose a video" and then select "Upload a video." Alternatively, you can choose from a list of videos that have already been processed.

   New video processing time

   After you upload a new video, it will need time to transcode before it’s ready to stream. You can continue setting up your event while transcoding is in progress, but you won’t be able to go live until it’s complete. As a guideline, each 1 minute of video typically takes about 1–3 minutes to transcode.

   Video requirements: maximum file size 10 GB, .mp4 format.

    
   
   
   
4. Once fully "transcoded", select your transcoded video which you should see in the media asset list as ready to stream.
5. Select the Start type for manual start, click the Go Live button at the top right of the screen to start the stream. If you select auto-start, the stream will start at the scheduled time automatically.
6. Once the event concludes, there is no need to manually click "end stream," as the stream will automatically terminate on its own.
