You will need to ensure that you have the correct Restream account and that it accounts for the number of pre-recorded videos that you will need to upload. There is a limit of 10 pre-recorded slots per account and for each scheduled video you will require a separate custom RTMP. For example - 10 scheduled videos occurring in one day would need 10 custom RTMP’s. Some videos may experience a delay. Please test your video prior to the event.
Create a Live Event
Head onto Vimeo and click on the Live Events tab. Click ‘Create a Live Event’ on Vimeo. Choosing Recurring will allow you to reuse the URL embed into Glisser (recommended). Do not choose start time or date. We recommend selecting the privacy ‘hide from Vimeo’.
Customise Video
Press ‘Next’ . Here you can edit and customise your video (most customisation options are on the “Embed” tab).
Event Embed Code
Head to the embed tab at the top and choose click ‘Event embed code’. You’ll need to copy just a portion of the code – it should like something like https://vimeo.com/event/1329230/embed. This is the code you’ll need to paste into Glisser.
Add to Glisser
Head to Glisser and paste the copied code into your session (Edit session, Live streaming tab, Choose Vimeo as the stream source provider, paste into box). You’re now linked to Glisser.
Connect RTMP
Head back to Vimeo and select the “Next” button at the top right. You’ll have a preview of your webcam, you’ll need to select the “Connect (RTMP)” and you’ll see the heading “Connect to your encoding software”. Below are the keys that you’ll need to embed into Restream.
Add Channel
Login to your Restream account and select add channel. Now choose Custom RTMP.
Copy RTMP Codes
Paste the RTMP codes from the Vimeo tab into their respective boxes on Restream when prompted. Press Add Channel.
Upload Video
Upload your videos onto Restream but heading into the scheduler tab button from the options on the left of the screen. Select “Videos” from the two option at the top and upload your video.
Schedule
Once your video has finished uploading you can schedule the start time but clicking onto the three vertical dots to the right of the video thumbnail and hitting “Schedule…”.
Set Title and Start Date
Choose your title and start date. Press the advance drop down option and ensure that the channel has been set to the custom RTMP that you set up a few steps back. You can also choose to repeat if you wish. When you’re finished press “Schedule Live Event”.
Present from Start
Your video will not begin once the countdown has ended. You can now head back to Glisser and press “Present from start” on your session – this will allow your audience members to enter the session through the code. The video will begin on your scheduled time.
