TAIKAI platform allows an organizer to livestream to a stage using a standard broadcast environment. Each stage has its own stream key that should be used to identify the stage stream and authenticate the streamer. TAIKAI supports live streaming using the RTMP protocol, which is supported by most broadcast software/hardware as well as open source software for mobile applications.

Youp will need software that can push an RTMP stream. That software will be configured using the Stream Keyand the Stream URL.

The Stream Key should be treated as a private key for live streaming. Anyone with the key can use it to stream video to the Live Stream it belongs to, so make sure your users know to keep it safe.
