If you have a professional camera you'd like to live stream with, you will need to connect your camera to a live stream encoder (software or hardware) which will stream it to Foveo using RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol). We recommend that you use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) on a laptop or computer. Note: OBS is not available for mobile devices (ex. iPhone, iPad (iOS) or Android devices)
Step-by-Step
1. Download OBS
2. Get your Foveo RTMP URL and Stream Key
3. Connect OBS to Foveo (via RTMP)
4. Configure OBS settings (as necessary)
1. Download OBS
a. Download and install OBS to the laptop or computer that you will connect your camera to.
2. Get your Foveo RTMP URL and Stream Key
a. Using a web browser, sign in to Foveo.app and navigate to Streams > IP Cameras in the left menu.
b. If no IP Camera is listed, click on +Create to create a new IP Camera for your funeral home.
c. Give your camera a name and click Save.
d. Click on the IP Camera name to find the RTMP URL and Key you will enter in OBS Stream settings.
(ex. RTMP URL: rtmp://v2api.foveo.app:1935/ip-camera and RTMP Key: c34d63r845)
3. Connect OBS to Foveo (via RTMP)
a. To add Foveo as a broadcast destination, open OBS and navigate to Settings > Stream.
b. In the Service drop-down, select Custom.
c. Enter the RTMP URL and the Stream Key you accessed in Foveo.app under IP Cameras.
d. Click OK. Your live stream will be directed from OBS to Foveo.app when you Start Streaming from OBS.
Remember, there is roughly a 15-20 second delay between the source stream and the live broadcast for guests.
