How to Live Stream R-Link Events on LinkedIn Using RTMP

Ready to take your professional network to new heights? RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) streaming allows you to broadcast high-quality video directly to your LinkedIn followers. In this guide, we'll walk you through setting up RTMP streaming for your R-Link events on LinkedIn.

Setting Up Your LinkedIn Stream

1. Go to www.linkedin.com/video/golive/now.

2. If you are setting this is up for the first time, choose Custom Stream (RMTP)

3. Click Next and complete set-up.

   

4. Under New stream, select Go live now.

5. To Set-Up Your Stream, pick your region below, then click Get URL

   • Under Create a post, select the profile or LinkedIn Page you want to stream to.

6. If you’re streaming to a profile, you can select the level of visibility you want for the post.

7. You can draft the associated post copy and tag members or Pages.

8. Under Your stream details, add a Title for your stream.

9. In the Stream settings tab, pick your region. Not all regions have a dedicated source in the Region dropdown list.

   If you don’t see your region, you can still go live by selecting the region closest to you. Each region is allocated a certain bandwidth, and sometimes regions run out of available bandwidth. If this happens, try selecting another region close to you.

10. Click Get URL. Copy the Stream URL and Stream Key.

    

Connecting LinkedIn to R-Link

1. In a separate tab, go to your R-Link Meeting URL (https://meet.r-link.com/yourroomname) and log into your room. Do not close the LinkedIn tab. Be sure to join the Meeting Mode. You cannot set-up the stream if you are in Admin Mode.

2. Give your stream a Title, Description and Toggle LinkedIn LIVE as one of the destinations of your stream.

   

3. Click Start Streaming to stream to your selected destinations.

4. Go back to www.linkedin.com/video/golive/now .

   • You’ll see a preview within the LinkedIn custom stream page.

5. The preview is limited to 10 minutes.

6. If you’re testing the stream, don’t click Go live as this will broadcast the event to your audience.
