# 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.
4. Open OBS and click **Settings**.
