Start your meeting in Zoom
Select "Custom Live Streaming Service" under the "More" button

Enter the SERVER URL and STREAM KEY from your Tribe Dashboard content page (seen above) on the new browser page that opens. Note, if you have previously done this, it will begin streaming automatically for you after it loads.

Post Call: Select Recording

The final step is to switch the content from “Live Streaming” to the recorded call so your members can watch a replay of the call at their convenience. In the Tribe Dashboard, complete the following:

Scroll down beyond the RTMP settings where it says, “Select Stream”

Live Stream is automatically selected and is what connects the call when it is live. When the call is over, click on this drop-down and find the date and time of the call you want to be replayed.

After selecting that recording, click save and your content will be available for all members of that group in the “Replay” tab of your app.

To set up recurring calls click the copy button on the Tribe Dashboard, change the title and date to the new call information and you’re all set for the next call to run! Just remember to come back when it is over and select the recording again or your audience will not have a video to watch when the stream is over.
