Joining the broadcast
When the time comes, follow these steps to enter the broadcast studio:
- You will be provided with a link before the show. Open the link in a supported browser for your device and you’ll be taken to your broadcast studio.
- Allow StreamYard to access your camera and mic.
- Make sure you have the correct camera and mic selected.
- Enter a display name. Use your actual name or the name of your brand. Then enter the studio.
Toby will be informed that you’ve arrived. You won’t be part of the broadcast until she adds you in. The page will update to let you know when you’ve been added.
Make sure you have the following:
- A laptop or desktop with a webcam and mic.
- A recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Opera
- A strong internet connection.
- We recommend wearing earbuds or headphones to prevent audio echoes.
