How do I get started with Qbrick live streaming?

A: To get started with Qbrick live streaming, follow these steps:

1. Sign in: Go to the Qbrick Video Platform website (www.video.qbrick.com) and sign in with your account.
   
   

2. Set up your channel: Once you have logged in, you'll need to set up a channel for your live stream. If you have access to the live manager you probably already have a dedicated channel with credentials you can use that can be found under "Settings">"Channels". Otherwise a channel with credentials is created whenever you set up your live media.
   This channel will serve as the online destination where your viewers can watch your stream.
   
   

3. Configure encoding settings: We supports various encoding options. You'll need to configure your encoding settings based on your available equipment and network conditions. We have detailed documentation and guidelines for setting up encoding software or hardware.
   
   

4. Prepare your video source: Before going live, you'll need to prepare your video source. This can be a camera feed, a pre-recorded video, or a screen capture. Ensure that your video source is connected and working properly.
   
   

5. Preview and test: If you are using the Live manager we have a preview mode that is private before you go live, take advantage of this feature to ensure everything looks and sounds as expected. If you don't have access to the live manager  Test your audio levels, video quality, and any overlays or graphics you want to include.
   
   

6. Go live: Once you're satisfied with the preview, you can start your live stream by clicking the "Go Live" button (if using Qbrick Live Manager). Otherwise you will then begin broadcasting your stream to your designated channel.
   
   

7. End the live stream: When you're ready to conclude your live stream, click the "End Stream" button in your Live Manager, or just stop the encoder if you are not using the live manager. This will stop the live broadcast, and viewers will no longer be able to watch the stream.

Remember to review Qbrick's documentation and support resources for any specific features or settings you may need for your live stream. It's also a good idea to test your setup and run a few practice streams before any important or public events.
