Add video to Services LIVE

See also:

Connect a paid streaming video channel (such as LiveStream, YouTube, or Facebook Live) with Services to show live video in your Services LIVE display.

Administrators can set up video integration on the web browser, but everyone can see the video feed once it's set up.

Important

LiveStream doesn't allow embedded videos at their free level. You can get an embed code, but when you select the play button in Services LIVE, you'll be directed to their site to watch.

You can see the video when you use the Lower and Lower Third views.
