How to Set Up Streaming on Microsoft Teams from Zuddl Studio

Important

This configuration is a 3-way connection between Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Stream, and Zuddl. In order to relay the Live feed on Microsoft Teams, you have to create a live feed on Microsoft Stream and then share it on Microsoft Teams.


Configuring Zuddl for MS Stream

To go live on Microsoft Stream you need to set up your RTMP server. To set up an RTMP server, you need the following:

  1. RTMP Server URL
  2. Stream Key

You can obtain the above information by creating a live stream event on Microsoft Stream. Learn how to create a live event on Microsoft Stream.

After you’ve created a live event, you need to configure Zuddl as an encoder for your live event:

Important

You need to save the new live event before proceeding with the encoder setup. After you’ve clicked Save live event, the encoder setup option gets enabled.

  1. Select Configure Manually from the Select Encoder dropdown under the Encoder Setup tab,
  2. Toggle off the Secure Connection (SSL) option. This generates an RTMP server URL.

  3. Copy the URL from the Server ingest URL field.
