Who may watch and stream

Let someone else stream: a guest key

For a guest, or an encoder at another venue, without giving them your own key.

1. Make a guest key

   On the stream, under Private links and guest keys, choose Make a guest key and how long it lasts.

2. Send it

   Copy it and send it. It stops working by itself. Choose "for one connection only" and nobody can use it again once they start, not even them.

Accept a stream only from your encoder

Under Who may stream here, add the addresses your encoders send from and save. From the next time it is sent to, only those are accepted.

Let people watch only from certain places

For an office, a school or a venue: under Who may watch, add their addresses (one like 203.0.113.7, or a range like 203.0.113.0/24) and save. The watch page, the website player and player apps then work only from there. Leave it empty for anywhere.

Block a network

In Settings, under Blocked networks, add an address or range to keep it from watching any of your streams and channels, and from the chat. Clearing their browser does not get round it. Careful: an office, a café or a mobile network often puts many people behind one address.

Stop every private link and guest key

Choose Revoke all private links and guest keys. All made so far stop at once. Your own key and the public watch link keep working.

Live chat

Choose Turn on chat on a stream or channel: viewers chat beside the player on the watch page. You can Clear chat and block a viewer who misbehaves.
