When you are using RTMP to stream into BigMarker, you'll always need to get at least two credentials first: The stream key and the stream URL.
If your organization streams into many sessions using RTMP, managing credentials can be challenging. Each session has a unique stream key and URL, so using the wrong pair can disrupt your live broadcast.
Now you can simplify this process with Channel RTMP Broadcasts. With this enabled, live sessions can share the same key and URL so you can set up your encoder once and be all set for every session.
Configuring the channel broadcast
In the channel settings, scroll down and look for RTMP Broadcasts. Then click on New RTMP Broadcasts to get started.
All you'll do is give your broadcast a name. Once saved, the credentials will be generated for the broadcast that you can copy and paste elsewhere.
Once created, click on the 3-dot menu and click on Webinars & details. Here is where you'll choose which sessions will use this channel broadcast. Click Add Webinar when you find the upcoming session you want, and continue to do this for all sessions you want to configure.
All sessions added to a channel broadcast receive the same RTMP content. If two selected sessions run at the same time, both will show the same broadcast.
After adding a session to this list, the RTMP settings found in the session admin will be updated. The stream key and URL will use the channel broadcast, and you'll see a tag to notify you that it is using a channel broadcast.
