Studio

FanHero's solution that enables you to live stream to multiple channels including YouTube, Twitch, FanHero and Custom RTMP while enabling Hosts to invite people and participate in split screen sessions of up to 5 guests and to have that Live Event broadcasted.

Home

From the Home screen, Admin users can quickly start a Webcam Stream and see information about the upcoming streams already scheduled.

Click on Start Webcam Stream to create your new event:

After completing all the required steps, click Next. In this step, you will be able to set a destination.

Note: if you enable the "Record Only" option, then you won't be able to enable other destinations.

In the example above, below the Record Only option there is our YouTube Channel already set up as a destination.
Then you will see the platform channel you are at:

If you choose this destination, then the stream will be broadcasted to the web and mobile applications.

To add a destination, click the "Add Destination" button.

• FanHero: choosing this option will add the FanHero Channel as a destination.
• Youtube: choosing this option will open a modal where you can sign in using your Youtube account. That account will be set as a destination.
• Custom RTMP: choosing this option will display a pop up so you can fill out information such as title, key, URL, username and password.

After you choose the desired destination, click on Save. The broadcast is saved successfully.

This is the screen where Admin users can make the magic happen! From layers and backgrounds to chat and destinations, you will be able to customize your stream.

As there is a lot of information in that screen, let's focus in this section first:

Share Video

When a video is selected from your device, it won't be live in the stream until you click on "+ Add Live". From the video thumbnail, you have the ability to play and pause the video as well as mute and unmute.

View when video sharing is live:

Manage Layout

In this pop up (Canvas Editor), you have the ability to customize your own canvas.

Remember that canvas work in layers. So first you must choose the item you want to edit. For example, the video (primary.mp4).

Once you select an item, it will be highlighted in green. Then you can resize and/or change its position. If you want to go back to the previous layout, simply click on Reset. If you want to Save your custom canvas, then click Save.

Your custom canvas won't be displayed in the stream until you click on the Custom button. This action means that you have a custom canvas and that you want to use it as a display.

Layers

You can customize as many layers and backgrounds as you wish.

When items are selected (in green), it means that the layer/background is being displayed in the canvas. In the example above, the dice image is being used as a layer and the diamond image is being used as a background along with a solid color (purple). They are all part of the custom canvas we created above.

Our custom canvas was edited so the dice image could be at the top and the video sharing could be at the bottom.

Layers and backgrounds can be edited at any time. You can click on the pencil icon next to them. If you wish to delete an item, simply click the trash icon next to it.

Banners

You have the ability to create and add as many banners as you need. Click on the plus icon to create a banner. It will open the Banner Editor pop up.

You can add text, change the background and text colors, change the font size and resize the banner (with and height). You can also move an item by clicking on it and dragging it to the new position.

Once is saved, the new banner will be available to be added to the stream.

Clicking on the eye icon will add the banner to the stream. You can to edit or delete banners at any time.

Destinations

If your stream is not live yet, you can still add or edit destinations.

Next to your FanHero Channel icon, you will note a pencil icon. From there, you will be able to edit live stream settings, such as enabling/disabling chat and reactions, adding the stream to a Category, whitelisting/blacklisting a country and adding a Product Access.
