In Producer, you can add media files from your device, web or Grabyo campaign as well as video and audio live streams.

Adding a live stream

  1. Select + in your chosen layer

  2. Select LIVE STREAM

  3. Add a TITLE

  4. Choose a PROTOCOL

  5. Select ADD SOURCE to finish

📕 Note: You can choose to either input a source - RTMP, SRT or HLS URL by selecting the PULL option or choose an existing ingest point (Standard or Pro ingest) in your account by selecting the PUSH option.

📕 Note: When using the PULL option, there are multiple ways to input the RTMP source (either by adding the Server and Stream key as separate details or by Full URL which combines both details). SRT (Caller) also has two methods of entry: Hostname, Port and Latency or a single URL for Stream ID.
