3. Download logo and banner by using the links on your dashboard under the Branding section

Create live stream¶

Click on the Create Live stream button
Select Studio as a source for a live stream
Leave the Reusable studio checkbox unchecked
Select at least the YouTube channel and optionally other destinations for the stream, by clicking the social media icons to toggle the state of the social media channel.
Specify a title for the stream beginning with your chapter name. I.e. Global AI The Moon | Awesome name for stream
Enter a brief decription what the stream is about
Click the checkbox to Schedule for later

After StreamYard is done setting up the live stream, it will show up in the list of scheduled streams and recordings.

Configuring live stream branding¶

Warning

Since we share this StreamYard environment among chapters, you have to make sure the branding of the live stream matches your chapter branding before going live.

Log in to StreamYard
Make sure your live stream is created
Click on the Enter studio button for your live stream
Check your camera and mic and specify you display name before clicking the Enter studio button
Navigate to the Media assets in the menu on the right
Select the Global AI Chapters brand in the dropdown, just above the Logo section.
Important
Make sure the correct brand is selected before making changes & do not delete the logos from other chapters!

Click on the + (plus) button in the Logo section to upload your chapter logo (sticker).
8. Click on the logo you just added, to select it for the stream.
9. You can now leave the studio by clicking the Leave studio button on the bottom of the screen.

Warning

We all share this StreamYard environment between chapters. Please do not make changes that can affect the streams of other chapters.
