How Do I Live Stream a Webex Meeting to the Virtual Venue?

    Webex administrators can allow meeting hosts to live stream Webex Meetings and Events using a streaming service. Both Webex Meetings and Webex Events work with any streaming service that supports the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) or Real-Time Messaging Protocol-Secure (RTMPS). Audio, video, and shared content will be live streamed.

    Live streaming in Webex Events is available from version WBS40.2.

    If the live streaming feature is enabled, it is active for both Webex Meetings and Webex Events.

    Webex administrators need to follow these steps to enable the live streaming option for an individual user:

    1. Sign in to the Webex administrator area. Use the left navigation bar and go to Configuration > Common Settings > Options.    
    2. Scroll down to the Live Streaming Services area and select Other streaming services.
