As an organizer, you can set up 3 forms of stream key, whereas the URL remains the same throughout the platform.
2.1. Event level key
Event-level stream key can help you have 1 single key for all your "Stream into Airmeet" based sessions. Once streaming is started, you can view stream input in all the sessions created under the "Stream into Airmeet" type of session.
All the non-parallel sessions have the Event-level stream key by default and can be copied either from session details or from the Session settings tab.
a. How to enable event-level key
Steps as follows:
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Session List" > "Add schedule item" > select "Stream into Airmeet" type > Create session.
b. How to view event-level key
Steps as follows:
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Sessions Settings" > "Stream into Airmeet" > "View Stream Keys" > Copy Stream Key and URL.
Note: The streaming output will be viewed all backstage in case the event level key is being used. Therefore, organizers need to ensure they start the particular day session only.
2.2. Session level key
You can create a parallel session and copy the stream key to stream in via a unique RTMP stream key for each session.
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Session List" > "Add schedule item" > select "Stream into Airmeet" type > + Generate Stream Key.
Now your session level is generated.
b. How to view session-level key
Steps as follows:
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Session Settings" > "Stream into Airmeet" > "View Stream Keys" > Copy Stream Key and URL.
2.3. Tracks level key
An organizer can create a parallel session and map them to different tracks (similar to a session playlist). Tracks are a curated group of sessions designed to help participants focus on a specific topic.
Map RTMP-based sessions (Stream into Airmeet) to a track and copy the stream key from the settings tab. All the sessions mapped to particular tracks will have a common stream URL which can be used and inserted into third-party broadcasting software.
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Session List" > "Add schedule item" > select "Stream into Airmeet" type > Create sessions and map it to a track.
Steps as follows:
Go to the Event dashboard > Click on the 'Sessions' tab > Go to "Stream Settings" > "Stream into Airmeet" > "View Stream Keys" > Copy Stream Key and URL.
