A Livestream can only be initiated by one of three methods.: 

  1. The host requests that a stream is scheduled, and the following information is shared with that host: streaming key, streaming URL, and livestream URL
  2. The host's UT Mail has Manager permissions to the Texas Architecture YouTube account
  3. The host has the credentials to log directly into the Texas Architecture YouTube account

The first method will use the directions detailed below in: Livestreaming → Starting the Livestream → Using a Streaming Key & URLs

The second and third method will both use the same directions to begin a livestream, detailed below in: Livestreaming → Starting the Livestream → Using a UT Mail Account with Elevated Permissions
