How To Create A Webinar Youtube

HELP FILE

How do I live stream my webinar to other platforms (like YouTube and Facebook)?

Broadcast your webinar to third-party social platforms (e.g., Facebook Live, YouTube Live, etc.) so viewers can watch from there.

GoToWebinar only supports RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) connections. RTMP is used for the transmission of audio, video, and other data between streaming servers. That means you'll need to manually enter the streaming information and initiate the live stream broadcast from the GoToWebinar dashboard.

Note: Video sharing (YouTube or .MP4 files) is currently not displayed in the live stream.
