Ever since live streaming has prevailed in the digital world, various developments have been initiated to provide ease and allow every individual in the live streaming community to share their videos anywhere at any time. Live streaming on social media platforms became mainstream long ago, and now we are witnessing an advancement toward embedding live streams on websites. Businesses and marketers increasingly use this approach to host private webinars and events, while bloggers leverage it to garner traffic onto their websites. Not only is this development helping industries and businesses to conduct their events in a standardized manner, but it also provides a possibility to institutions and corporations that like to dodge social media platforms and live stream events directly on the website, broadcasting privately using a livestream embed code.

🤩 Add a Customized Background
Give your live stream a professional touch by using a Customized Player Background. It is a branding opportunity that you must not neglect and use to strengthen your message to your viewers.
🔑 Secure your Embed Player with a Password
If you are hosting a private event or organizing an educational program, you would want to keep it secured. You can restrict the Embed Player to only authorized attendees by protecting your Embed Player with a Username and Password. By employing this feature you will have complete control over your viewers and anyone without the set credentials will not be allowed to view the live stream. If needed, you can change the Username and Password at any time.
✨ Customize the Embed Player Size
The width and height of the Embed Player define the size of your player. The size of the player should look perfect on your webpage. You can resize it as per your requirements but make sure that it is displayed with the correct dimensions that give the viewers a quality experience
🔥 Fuel up Extra Bandwidth
Live streaming demands an ample supply of Bandwidth. It is a fundamental element that must not be forgotten.
💡 Do you know that 2TB Bandwidth is shared with you every month without any charges?
The bandwidth is consumed as per the number of your viewers, the video bitrate, and the length of the video. Do not forget to check the remaining amount of bandwidth before your next event. You do not want to run out of it at the last minute. To steer clear of any hitches, it would be best to purchase some extra Bandwidth from add-ons.
🎯 Tip: Calculate the required amount of bandwidth before your event by using any Bandwidth Calculator.
💯 High-Quality Experience
Bear in mind that not a living soul wants to watch a video of poor quality. Therefore, enable Adaptive Bitrate Streaming. It is a technique used to adjust the quality of the stream as per the viewer’s bandwidth. With adaptive bitrate streaming, the viewers will always receive the best video quality that their current internet connection speed can support.
🟩 Certify the Code
The embed code does not change except when you make any changes. Make sure you copy the fresh embed code after you have made any sort of changes. You can use that embed code anywhere at any time as per the employed settings.
✉️ Embed Chat
Not only can you embed a live stream using OneStream Live, but you can embed the chat as well. This allows you to communicate with your viewers smoothly. From the Embed Settings, you can enable or disable the option to copy the chat with the embed player. Once you have turned on the settings, copy the newly generated code and embed it on the website.
