✅ Now only subscribers with an active subscription can access this live stream.

### **Start a Live Stream**

1. **TURN ON** on the channel you created.
2. Choose to go live via browser or an external encoder like OBS.
3. Share the **channel page URL** with subscribers.

Note that you will need to test purchase this livestream to actually be able to watch, even as the admin. It will look exactly the same to you as to your non-customers.
