Step by step

  1. Join a studio as a host or producer.
  2. In the sidebar on the right, click Stream.
  3. Connect the destinations you want to stream to.
    When successfully connected, the Live stream status will toggle on toggle-on.svg at the top of the side panel.
  4. Next to a destination, click the Portrait icon or Landscape icon.
    New destinations default to landscape, except TikTok, which defaults to portrait.
  5. Set the orientation for each destination.
    When your destinations use different orientations, both previews appear side by side in the canvas.
  6. To hide or show an orientation's preview, click its minus icon or plus icon in the canvas.
    The hide control sits right after the Portrait or Landscape text in the canvas.
  7. At the bottom of the studio, click Go live to start your live stream.

  • Once you go live, the orientation for a destination is locked. Stop and restart the stream to change it.
  • Riverside-hosted destinations always stream in landscape, so the orientation icon doesn't appear for them.
  • Orientation controls are visible to hosts and producers only. Guests and the audience only see the orientation you set for their platform.
