Getting setup with any streaming software can be a daunting task, especially when you\u2019re not familiar with what\u2019s needed before you go live. With this guide, you will learn how to add 3rd party integrations into Lightstream and understand what\u2019s best for you and your content.<\/p>

What are 3rd Party Integrations?<\/h3>

3rd party integrations are external tools and platforms that can be used to an existing project. Take Lightstream for example, when you use our service to stream content, you can add other tools like Rainmaker to have alerts appear when someone donates to you.<\/p>

Why are 3rd Party Integrations Important?<\/h3>

Live streaming requires you to engage with your audience in order to be successful. These integrations are designed to help you build a community and make your users feel the overall experience that you\u2019re trying to deliver. It\u2019s like going to your favorite restaurant or hangout spot. This short list are the most popular tools out there to help you be a better streamer.<\/p>

How to get setup with 3rd Party Integrations with Lightstream?<\/h3>

Adding any of the integrations into Lightstream is simple. Most, if not all, require a URL to be added into Lightstream from the \u201cLayers\u201d menu. Majority of the setup of the integration should be done from their website.<\/p>

You can choose from the highlighted list or add a 3rd Party Browser Source.<\/p>

You can mix and match integrations that work best for your needs. There is no one size fits all solution. Our best advice is use as little as possible to get what you need, otherwise you will end up having multiple integrations and can be overwhelming to keep up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
