What is livestream?
Livestreaming is broadcasting a live video in real time that you record yourself. Unlike pre-recorded video it isn’t edited or pre-planned, you film live to an audience.
How do I add a livestream to my fundraising page?
1. Log in or set up your fundraising page.
2. On your page click the "change cover" button on your header image, and then click "Media" and "Change cover"
3. Under the add Livestream/video section select the streaming service and then copy and paste the stream id or link to the steaming site.
- For Twitch and Mixer paste your username
- For YouTube paste the Video ID. The video id is the 11 letters and numbers following the v= in the url (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHdi0kd1WwU)
4. Click save and view your page to check it is working and you are live on screen!
If you get an error message after adding your stream you can either refresh your page and try again or log out and try again.
Once your livestream has ended, remove your id or URL and it will default to your previous profile picture.
