StreamLive Pro

Your first live broadcast, step by step

From sign-up to live on YouTube or Facebook: five steps in the browser, nothing to install, and the one wait you should know about.

Updated October 29, 2026 · 3 min read

This is the shortest honest path from a new account to a broadcast that is live on your networks. Everything happens in the browser; you do not need OBS or any other software.

Step 1: create the account

Open streamlivepro.io/register and sign up with Google, or with an e-mail address and a password. With e-mail you get a 6-digit code to confirm the address. Every new account starts a 7-day trial; no credit card is asked for.

Step 2: connect a network

On Home, the card Let's get you live shows the networks as buttons. Click YouTube or Facebook. The network's own sign-in window opens; approve the permission there and you are back on Home with the network connected. We never see your password.

The same list lives under Connections → Add a connection, together with the other networks.

Two things that decide whether this step works the first time:

• YouTube: live streaming has to be enabled on the channel. If it has never been enabled, YouTube asks you to confirm a phone number and can take up to 24 hours before the first live is allowed. This is YouTube's wait, not ours, and it only happens once per channel.
• Facebook: you broadcast to a Facebook Page you manage. On Facebook's approval screen, tick every Page you may want to use; a Page you did not tick there will not appear here.

Step 3: open the studio

Click Go live on Home (or Live Stream in the sidebar), then Browser Studio. The browser asks for the camera and the microphone; allow both. Under Inputs you can add a second camera, share a screen, add your phone as a camera, or invite a guest by link.

Step 4: choose where it goes

The To: line under the preview lists the networks this broadcast goes to. Tick the ones you want. Each network can get its own title and description.

Want to try it first with nobody watching? You can go live with no network selected: the broadcast goes only to your private watch page.

Step 5: go live

Press Start Broadcasting. Most networks show the picture 10 to 30 seconds later; that is the time they take to accept a new stream. Viewer counts and the chat from the connected networks appear in the studio while you are on air.

When you end the broadcast, the recording is kept, and vertical Shorts with captions are cut from it automatically.

What the trial includes

During the 7-day trial you can go live to 2 networks at once, twice, for up to 60 minutes each time, from the browser studio. You also get 10 Shorts and 10 minutes of translation; Shorts carry a small watermark. Streaming from OBS or another encoder with a stream key opens on a paid plan. See pricing.

If something does not work

• The network does not show the picture after a minute: open the network's own live page; YouTube in particular holds a new stream until live streaming is enabled.
• A Facebook Page is missing: reconnect Facebook and tick that Page on Facebook's screen.
• No camera picture: the browser was not given permission. Click the camera icon in the address bar and allow it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need OBS?

No. The browser studio covers a camera, a screen share, guests and a phone as an extra camera. OBS and other encoders work too, through a stream key, on a paid plan.

Why can I not go live on YouTube yet?

YouTube allows live streaming only after it is enabled on the channel. The first time, YouTube can take up to 24 hours. After that it is immediate.

Can I test without anyone seeing it?

Yes. Go live with no network selected and the broadcast goes only to your private watch page.

Does the trial turn into a paid plan by itself?

No. No card is taken during sign-up, so nothing is charged. At the end of the trial you choose a plan if you want to continue.
