Simulcast with an Instagram Business Account:
If you are on a professional account, Instagram has released Live Producer. This allows you to go generate a stream key and URL within Instagram to then stream through Firework. Information on this can be found here.
- From the Instagram Live Producer, create your Live Video on Instagram. Enter in the title and description, then select "Public".
- Under Add live video details, select "Go live with streaming software". Copy the Stream key and Stream URL, then navigate back to the Livestream event in the business portal and paste these.
- When ready to stream, select Go Live in the business portal. Navigate back to Live Producer and click "Go live" as well. Once your stream has ended, be sure to end the stream in Instagram and then your business portal.
To edit or delete your Instagram Multi-stream, click the three dots to the right of the Instagram box in the business Portal
