A livestream is broadcasted live at a designated date and time. It cannot be paused, rewound, or fast-forwarded and can only be watched at the time of its airing.

We are always striving to be inclusive and are always working on ways to support audio and visual captioning. Stellar streams can support a variety of methods for offering captioned content.
Stellar does not record livestreams. If event organizers would like to offer their livestream as a VOD, they will need to record the livestream, save the file as a .mp4/.mov and upload the asset for the VOD to Stellar.

We support streaming using any software that does RTMP (the same as YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms). Typically we suggest you start with OBS, but we also support vMix, StreamYard, Wowza, etc... Explore our streaming guides for more information.
