You can expand your audience and reach by using your Teradek products to stream to multiple destinations at once. For example, you can use the Vidiu encoder to stream your event to audiences on Youtube, Facebook, Twitch and more simultaneously!
Sharelink allows you to not only stream to multiple destinations, but to bond multiple internet connections for a strong and stable stream.
To get started, you’ll need to [create a Sharelink account] and [connect a device].
Once logged in, click on the Channels tab.
You will be presented with a list of your channels, which will be empty if it is a new account.
Click Add new Channel.
Choose from the list of supported destinations. We will start by adding Facebook and Youtube.
With Facebook Selected, click the Link your account button below. A new browser page will appear for you to log into your Facebook account and authorize Sharelink to post to your account.
Once the authorization process is complete, you will return to the Sharelink site and see your Facebook streaming settings.
Click on the channel drop down menu to select which channel you wish to stream to. This can be your timeline, a page or a group.
We will stream to My Timeline.
Enter a Title and Description, then choose your privacy setting.

Once authorized, back in the sharelink site, choose which live stream event you wish to stream to (events must be created on the Youtube website).
Click Save.
Your Youtube destination will show up in your channel list.
Click on the Video sources tab.
