What is Instant Live Streaming
Instant live streaming is a native to Blink feature that allows you to start a live stream in your app without incorporating any third-party systems.
The experience is more seamless as commenting and reactions can be added to the live stream just as they are on a typical Feed post.
How to start an Instant Live Stream
Make sure this feature is enabled for your organization by reaching out to your Customer Success Manager or our Support team
Click on the "Live" option in the post text box on the Feed
Select the "Instant Live" option on the left
This will open a post editor where you can add text, an audience, and a category just as you would for a Feed post. Only users in the group(s) selected will be able to see your Live Stream.
Once you're happy with your selections, click the Set Live option in the lower right corner
This will post the live to the Feed as shown below.
When you're ready to end the stream, click the end broadcast option at the bottom of your controls.
The live will then be available as a video recording on the Feed for all users in your audience.
Other live streaming options on Blink
We currently support other live streaming options as well. Please see the articles below for more details.
