Live Streaming #

The Live Stream is sent from Zoom to YouTube. It requires that the YouTube user configure the stream and the Zoom Host start the stream and send it to YouTube.

Configuring the Stream #

The stream must be configured on YouTube and on the Website.

Each week the YouTube stream must be configured by the Mona YouTube user, here are the steps:

  1. Log in as the Mona YouTube user and go to studio.youtube.com.

  2. Click the Go Live button (see image below).

    Go live link

  3. Click “Edit” (update the date )

Note: Unless you actively change it, the stream key and stream URL are always the same. These settings have been configured in Zoom for the current Sunday service and should “just work”. If a new meeting is configured in Zoom it will be necessary to configure the stream key and stream URL settings.
