5. Fill up the first two text field with the information provided by the Livescale Dashboard

1. The name of your source can be anything, we opted for Livescale.
2. The RTMP address is provided by the Livescale Dashboard once the video engine is launched.
3. Once the RTMP address has been pasted, add '/stream' (without ' ') to the end of the URL to specify the stream key. Your URL should look something like: rtmp://placeholder.livescale.tv/live/stream

6. Save your connection and navigate back to the settings panel

7. Click on “Capture and Encoding” to setup the audio and video specifications

1. Make sure “Microphone” and “Camera” access are toggled on
2. Toggle “Record Stream” on, if you want to keep a local copy of your livestream

8. Setup the video specifications by clicking on “Video”

1. We recommend 1280×720 with a framerate of 30fps and a bitrate of 4000kbps
2. You may adjust the settings to your liking but beware of the limitation of your own network when choosing a higher resolution or bitrate.

9. Setup the audio specifications by clicking on “Audio”

1. We recommend leaving everything to “Auto” unless you know what you’re doing.
2. Setting the channel count to “Mono” ensures that the sound always comes from the same place rather than from the sides.

10. Navigate back to Larix Broadcaster and launch your live by pressing the recording button!
