Live Stream a Virtual Event

Broadcast a live session of your virtual event to third-party platforms so viewers can watch from there. GoTo Webinar only supports RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) connections. RTMP is used for the transmission of audio, video, and other data between streaming servers. That means you'll need to manually enter the streaming information and initiate the live stream broadcast from the GoTo Webinar dashboard.
Before you begin: If you haven't already, schedule a virtual event. Then choose your platform:
  • Facebook or YouTube
  • LinkedIn
