Zoom Setup
This section describes how to enable your Zoom account to live stream using YouTube. The steps are required to live stream meetings that you host. If these steps aren't completed before you schedule your meeting, the livestreaming function won't work.
If you will be using a Meeting Owl for your meeting, please review that documentation.
In-app Settings
Open your Zoom application and ensure that you are logged into your UT Zoom account through Single-Sign-On (SSO) and not a personal account. Click on your image at the top right of the window and below your name should list your “@eid.utexas.edu” address.
- Go to the SHARE SCREEN tab and make sure SIDE-BY-SIDE MODE is selected.
- Go to the PROFILE tab and click on VIEW ADVANCED FEATURES to access advanced settings in your web browser (a new window will open).
Online Settings
- If you followed the steps above, you will land on the MEETING tab (top navigation) of the SETTINGS section (left navigation). This page can also be accessed through https://utexas.zoom.us/. Scroll down.
- Scroll down until you reach the screen sharing option under the IN MEETING (BASIC) section.
- Ensure screen sharing is ON and that ALL PARTICIPANTS can share.
- Hosts can toggle this on and off during the meeting as well.
- Scroll down until you reach the live streaming option under the IN MEETING (ADVANCED) section. Toggle the button to ALLOW LIVE STREAMING MEETINGS and select YOUTUBE and CUSTOM LIVE STREAMING SERVICE.
If you won't be starting the live stream on your own, you can stop here. Example: final reviews.
If you will be starting the live stream on your own, continue to the next section. Example: lunch forums.

- You will now see a progress bar, letting you know that your session is being prepared for streaming.
- Your meeting is live streaming on YouTube now!
