Live stream meetings and webinars
Connect to large audiences from Webex Meetingsor Webex Webinars using Facebook Live, IBM Video Streaming, YouTube Live, Vbrick Rev, or any other streaming service. There's nothing to download or install. Your meetings can have multiple hosts who can engage in a conversation and screen share.
If you're on a paid Meetings, Webinars, or Events (classic) plan and have live streaming enabled, use any streaming service that supports Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) and Real-Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS) streams. The audio, video, and shared content stream live.
This feature requires Webex video platform version 2.0. Find out which version you’re using.
You can live stream each meeting or webinar to one live streaming service.
Your Webex administrator must enable live streaming.
If you subscribe to Webex from your Service Provider, contact your Service Provider’s customer support team for help with live streaming.
Live streaming doesn't support sharing a whiteboard or sharing a file using Share File, including sharing a video file.
When you stream meeting or webinar content to a third-party streaming solution, Webex no longer owns or manages the security and privacy of the content. Refer to the streaming service for information about security, privacy, and content retention.
Make sure that you signed in to the streaming service and become familiar with the process of live streaming well before you intend to live stream your meeting or event.
If you want to stream your events with Webinars, you can also schedule a webinar in webcast view. Webinars in webcast view allow you to instantly stream webinars for attendees to view in their browser.
