Livestream Block
How to share, record, and even token-gate a Livestream on Bonfire.
To use this feature you must first download a broadcasting software like OBS Studio, StreamLabs or StreamElements.
Here’s the step-by-step:
- Go to Content > Livestream
- The first time you go live, you’ll need to setup your stream by giving it a name and description (optional)
- After setting up your stream, you’ll be given a Server URL and Sream Key. These credentials are how you’ll connect your Bonfire Stream to the broadcasting software of your choosing (e.g. OBS)
- To connect the broadcasting software or to Bonfire, you’ll be asked to input your Server URL and Stream Key
- Copy-paste these credentials from your dashboard, which you can find beneath your stream in the Livestream tab
- Now that you’ve connected the broadcasting software to Bonfire, you can start streaming. Use software to control the stream and click Start Streaming once you’re ready
- Go back to Bonfire to view your stream (this might take a minute to load)
You have the option to change the name and description of your Stream channel, you can also record and token-gate it
- Go to Studio > Pages choose a page or create a new one and then go Back to Studio Menu > Blocks and drag and drop a Livestream block into the page
- Add any block to your page to customize it and don’t forget to fill out your page settings
- Click Publish
Pro Tip: If your community uses Discord, you can embed a Discord channel from your server beneath your livestream, to add traditional livestream chat functionality for your token-gated stream. This functionality is offered via a popular Discord bot called WidgetBot - see our guide here to learn more.
