# How Do I Set Up Live Streaming for the Event Stage?

# How Do I Set Up Live Streaming for the Event Stage?

Use this option if you plan to live stream to your event. The live stream will play at the top of Live Event Page and can be entirely pre-recorded, entirely live, or a mix of both. You will be responsible for starting your stream through the streaming service of your choice. Although this method can be more work, there are some advantages:

* Your event will immediately feel "live" as soon as people arrive.
* Live content can be more engaging for your audience.
* You are able to communicate and interact with your audience in real time.
* Additionally, most streaming services allow you to stream to multiple platforms at once (so, you could stream to Facebook and YouTube at the same time as Boothy).

Follow these steps to set up your Live-Streaming Event Stage:

 1. On your Boothy Dashboard, click on **Events** at the top right of the page, next to **Collections**.

2. Click on the **Manage** button on the event you want to set up the livestream for. 

3. Next, click on the **Edit** button or **Edit Event** button.

4. Click on the **Edit** button next to the **Event Stage** section.

5. After clicking on **Edit**, you should see the **Event Stage Options**. Turn on the **Enable Event Stage** option.

8. Enter the **RTMP URL **and **Stream Key** in the respective fields. Click **Apply** to save the changes. 

9. If you are ready for these changes to take effect immediately, click on the down arrow located at the top right of the page, next to the **Preview/Enter** buttons. Select **Save & Publish**. A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm your action by selecting **Publish Now**.
