Schedule a stream in advance

Scheduling lets you broadcast a saved recording to your connected platforms at a future time, as if it were live. This is useful for replaying a past stream or airing a pre-recorded episode on a regular schedule.

How to schedule a broadcast

1. From your dashboard, go to the Media Library or Recordings page.
2. Find the recording you want to broadcast and open it.
3. Click Schedule Live Stream.
4. Fill in the broadcast details:
   • Stream Title
   • Description
   • Thumbnail — upload a custom image, use the recording's current thumbnail, or (Scale and Enterprise plans) generate an AI thumbnail.
5. Pick a start time:
   • Choose a future date and time, or
   • Toggle Go Live Now to start immediately.
6. Select the channels you want to broadcast to.
7. Click Schedule Live Stream.

Your scheduled broadcast appears in the Scheduled list, where you can view or cancel it before it goes live.

Plan limits

• Free: scheduling is not available.
• Hobby / Creator: 1 active or upcoming scheduled broadcast at a time.
• Scale / Enterprise: up to 3 active or upcoming scheduled broadcasts at a time.
• Each plan also has a monthly limit on how many scheduled broadcasts you can create and how many total simulated-live minutes you can use.

Good to know: Scheduling restreams a recording, it does not schedule a new live broadcast from Web Studio or OBS. If you want to go live from Web Studio at a specific time, open Web Studio and click Go Live when you're ready.
