Switchboard Live

Start your show once, reach every audience you have. Set your encoder (OBS, vMix, Streamlabs, hardware) to send a single RTMP feed to Switchboard Live, then add every destination you care about—YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and any custom RTMP endpoint like X (Twitter), websites, or OTT apps. Name each event, tailor the title and description per platform, upload a thumbnail, and run a quick test preview. When you go live, your one uplink is relayed in the cloud to all endpoints, preserving quality while keeping your local connection light.

Polish the look without rebuilding your entire scene. Drop in your logo and watermark, apply lower-thirds and animated overlays, and use on-screen annotations for calls to action, agenda points, or sponsor cards. If you’re switching multiple cameras in your production tool, the platform passes through your program feed at full HD, so your angles and transitions stay crisp everywhere. Keep viewers active with integrated live polling and Q&A, pin helpful answers, and surface comments or prompts to guide the conversation in real time.

Plan launches, premieres, services, and town halls ahead of time. Schedule events days in advance, set start times per channel, and spin up a branded countdown so fans know exactly when to join. The moment you hit Go Live, each destination triggers its own native alerts—subscribers, followers, and page fans get notified on their home turf, no cross-platform herding required. Collaborators can connect their pages as additional targets, so agencies and partners amplify reach without sharing passwords. If your encoder reconnects or you switch networks, resume the session and keep viewers informed with a prebuilt “We’ll be right back” slate.

After the broadcast, pull the cloud recording for replays, highlights, and shorts. Review audience analytics—concurrency, watch time, geographic breakdowns, and retention curves—to see which platform and topic performed best. Export insights, compare time slots, and refine titles, thumbnails, and hooks for the next stream. Turn on monetization where supported, promote mid-rolls with sponsor overlays, and include donation links or merch callouts directly in your visuals. Because the heavy lifting happens upstream in the cloud, your studio, mobile rig, or field unit sends just one stream, saving data on hotel Wi‑Fi or hotspots while delivering a stable, professional show across every channel you manage.
