In order to stream, you just need to connect to a camera and any RTMP-enabled encoder, which sends your live recording to Vimeo.

Each stream is limited to 12 hours in length, but you can host as many streams as you like.

Decide who can watch your live stream from the following options:

Anyone can see this video

Only I can see this video

Only people I follow can see this video

Only people with a password can see this video

Only people I choose can see this video

Hide this video from Vimeo

Only people with the private link

You can customise the colour of your stream video player with a six-digit hex code.

You can add calls-to-action to your live stream for your audience to engage with.

A poll requires a question and up to four answers to choose from. You can also set the poll up like a quiz, with one correct answer. You can have as many polls as you’d like per stream, but only one poll may be open at a time.

Once your stream is live, you can enable Q&A from the Live Preview page. Viewers in both your on-site and embedded live chat can participate in live Q&A.
