Please, choose your preferred way of recording. Once your software is ready, let's proceed further.

You can connect your streaming device with our portal from 3 hours before the event starts. In your **service** go to sales and then **edit** the event you will be streaming.

The Streaming button will only be active 3 hours or less before the beginning of the event.

After clicking on "Vytvorit vysilani" you will see this **ingest url link** which you have to copy & paste in your streaming software (StreamLabs / GoPro / OBS etc.). 

This step is later described at [How to record](https://cs.help.siesta.cloud/en/video-portal-1/how-to-record)

This links the data flow to your streaming portal. 

To send the data in you have to **press record** in your streaming software.

Important: your streaming will only be seen on our portal at the exact time the event is set to start - no worries if you start streaming & recording few minutes in advance, just wait until the exact starting time or have the streaming portal open on another device / window to see when your stream gets activated.
