🛫Jet-Stream (VP)

In the lobby a Jet-stream live stream can be build in to welcome everyone who logs in.

Set up an account

To start a live stream a webcam, microphone and a Jet-Stream account are required. Make sure to have the most up-to-date browser, operating system, and a good internet connection (500+ Kbps).

To set up a live stream on a desktop an account has to be created on Jet-Stream. A Jet-Stream account is easier to set up than a YouTube account with an active AdSense account. Jet-Stream offers different account options and recommends a Webcast account for events.

Before you can start live streaming you need to download encoding software to set up your live stream. We recommend downloading Open Broadcaster Software. Useful information on how to use OBS can be found here.
