About live sources

A live source works as a constant StreamID when broadcasting on your device and replaces the unique StreamID. A live source allows you to use the same stream ID for all of your livestreams, as long as the livestreams don't overlap.

A live source can be restricted to one channel or available for all channels on the platform. You decide this when you create the live source in dashboard.

Channel restricted: The live source is added exclusively to a channel and can only be used for streams uploaded to the same channel.
Global: The live source can be used to all of the streams, regardless what channel you choose the add the livestream to.

How to use live sources:
If you stream from the same arena/location/camera, you can create a live source instead of the unique streamID. Meaning that you don't have to change the unique streamID for every stream in your camera settings.
A live source can also be used for tournaments, where there are several different games broadcasted in one day.

When broadcasting to an event, you send to a RTMP address.
