Copy and Paste Token into OBS

In order to share a workspace in a stream, the Show Publisher will need to find the Token from the Show Publisher portal and insert these values into OBS. To complete this task follow the steps below:

  1. From the home page, select the ShowPublisher portal for the show you would like to publish to.

  3. On the List Of Streams portal you will find your Stream Label and a few buttons for actions to perform on the stream.

    1. Copy Stream Name - Clicking this button will copy the Stream Name for OBS into your clipboard.

    2. Copy Token - Clicking this button will copy the Stream Token for OBS into your clipboard.

    3. Delete Stream - This will remove the stream completely and will require the creation of a new stream before this Show Publisher can stream a workspace or host a stream again.
