Go live with any stream URL. Collect leads with a gated overlay, accept tips via Stripe, and grow your audience on itsbuzzing.com.
Get your first live room up and running in three simple steps.
Paste any stream URL (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc.) and give your room a title. The room is instantly created and live.
Viewers watch on itsbuzzing.com. If you enable the lead gate, it fires first—viewers enter their info to unlock the video.
Download all leads as CSV from your manage page. Get email alerts for each new lead and tip. Get paid via Stripe Connect.
The moment your room is created, you land on your Mission Control page. This is the only time your private Manage Link is shown — save it before you leave.
Buzz Live has a built-in broadcast server. Instead of embedding a YouTube or Facebook stream, you stream directly from OBS (or any RTMP-compatible app) to Buzz Live's servers. Viewers watch on itsbuzzing.com with zero buffering and ultra-low latency.
Fill in your room title, category, and thumbnail. At the bottom you'll see your OBS configuration panel with your Server URL and Stream Key.
The Server URL looks like rtmp://itsbuzzing.com/live. Your Stream Key is unique to your room — keep it private. Click the eye icon to reveal it; click copy to copy it.
Set Service to Custom. Paste your Server URL into the Server field. Paste your Stream Key into the Stream Key field.

Your stream goes live on Buzz Live immediately. Share your public room link — viewers on itsbuzzing.com see the HLS video player with your live feed.
Click "Stop Streaming" in OBS. Then go to your Manage page and click End Room to trigger the post-stream pipeline (AI summary, newsletter draft, sponsor recap). If you don't end the room manually, it auto-ends after 30 minutes of inactivity.
The discovery page at itsbuzzing.com/live/discover is where viewers find active streams, scheduled rooms, and replays — filtered by category.
Each stream has its own watch page at /live/[slug]. On it:
While you're live, your Manage page (/live/[slug]/manage?manage=TOKEN) gives you a full broadcast control panel. Here's what you can do in real time.
Markers let you bookmark moments in your stream for later review, clipping, and sponsor reporting. They appear as a timeline strip on your manage page.
To place a marker: click the colored marker buttons in the Markers panel on your manage page. The marker is timestamped and saved instantly.
Push a floating banner to all viewers in real time — without interrupting the stream.
Create a multiple-choice poll and launch it mid-stream. Results update in real time for both you and your viewers.
Drop a shopping link while you're live. A product card appears for viewers with a one-click buy button.
Invite co-hosts, camera operators, and technical producers into your room. Each gets their own access link and role — no shared passwords.
| Role | What They Can Do |
|---|---|
| Producer | Full control — polls, overlays, deal drops, markers, end stream |
| Co-Producer | Overlays and markers only — cannot end the stream |
| Viewer-Only | Can see the manage panel but cannot push any actions |
Click Invite Producer. Enter their name, email, and select their role.
The link is unique and role-scoped. They open it on their own device — no login required.
You can revoke access anytime from your manage page. Once revoked, their link stops working immediately.
Each producer can stream a separate camera feed from their own OBS instance using a unique stream key. You (the host) can switch between feeds live from the manage page — or let viewers choose their own POV on the watch page.
Turn your best stream moments into standalone short-form clips — shareable on social media, embeddable on your website, or uploaded to your BuzzCard.
On your manage page, hit the Clip marker button at the exact moment you want to save. This timestamps it.
This opens BuzzClip upload pre-filled with your room ID and slug. Give the clip a title and description.
Export the clip from OBS (or trim it on your phone) and upload it. Clips go to R2 storage and are transcoded for fast playback.
/buzzclip/[clip-id] — shareable link<iframe> embed codeWhen you end a room, Buzz Live automatically runs an AI pipeline in the background. Within a few minutes, your Post-Stream Inbox at /live/[slug]/post-stream is ready with three deliverables.
A plain-English recap of your broadcast — what you talked about, key moments, notable engagement spikes. Uses your session markers and chat context. Paste directly into show notes or a newsletter intro.
A full email newsletter draft — subject line, intro, summary of what happened on stream, CTA to watch the replay, and a teaser for next stream. Ready to copy into Brevo, Mailchimp, or any email tool.
If you placed Sponsor markers during the stream, this report timestamps each sponsor segment, estimated viewer count at that moment, and a brief description of what was said. Ready to send directly to your sponsors as a performance report.
Click End Room. This triggers the post-stream pipeline — AI starts working in the background immediately.
The AI pipeline runs asynchronously. You'll see a "Processing…" state when you first land on the post-stream page.
Your inbox shows all three deliverables with copy buttons. The page refreshes automatically when processing finishes.
BuzzStream Live embeds streams from most major platforms. Some have restrictions.
| Platform | How It Works |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Embeds directly — video plays on the page |
| Embeds directly (public pages/videos only) | |
| Twitch | Embeds directly |
| Kick | Embeds directly |
| Rumble | Embeds directly |
| Vimeo | Embeds directly (including Vimeo Events for live) |
| Embeds directly (public posts only) | |
| Past Reels only — live not supported by Instagram | |
| TikTok | Watch link only — TikTok blocks all embedding |
| Zoom | Join button only — Zoom blocks embedding |
Show a full-screen overlay before the video starts. Viewers enter their name, email, and phone to unlock the stream.
Collect viewer infoWhen a viewer fills in the lead gate once, Buzz Live remembers them. On every future visit — to any room tied to your business — they skip the gate automatically and see a personalized welcome instead.
Enable viewers to tip during or after the stream. Payouts go directly to your bank account via Stripe.
Enable tip jarSchedule a room to go live at a future date and time. Your room appears in the "Coming Up" section on /live/discover before it starts.
Schedule for laterSchedule Room →Every room is always in one of three states. The viewer experience changes automatically based on the state — you don't have to do anything.
The stream is currently active. Viewers see the embedded video player, the lead gate (if enabled), the tip jar, polls, and link drops.
You set a future start time. Until then, viewers who scan your QR or visit the link see a countdown clock — days, hours, minutes, seconds until you go live. The lead gate still works during this waiting period, so you can collect sign-ups before the stream even starts.
After you end a stream, the room automatically switches to Replay mode. Viewers who visit the link after the stream ends see the replay — not a dead page.
Network managers recruit creators and earn 20% of all tips generated by their rooms.

/live/[slug]/manage?manage=TOKEN/live/[slug]/manage/leads.csv?manage=TOKENAttach a music playlist to any Buzz Live room. Viewers get a collapsible music dock alongside your stream — the full radio station experience in a browser. Your live video plays at the top; your playlist plays below.
Playlists are built in Infinity Player (itsbuzzing.com/infinity/manage) and can contain tracks from any combination of:
One playlist can mix all of these — a YouTube music video, then a SoundCloud track, then a direct MP3, all in one queue.
Yes. You can create as many playlists as you want in Infinity Player. Each room can have one playlist attached at a time, but you can switch it anytime from your manage page. Common setups:
Switch playlists between rooms in seconds from the manage page — just open the picker and select a different one.
When you attach a playlist, you choose how it behaves:
No — the music dock is purely a viewer experience feature. Tip splits are determined by your network setup (70% creator / 20% network manager / 10% platform, or 90/10 for host-only rooms). The playlist does not affect earnings.
You can build a playlist library in Infinity Player and match playlists to room experiences:
Since you can switch playlists per room in seconds, there's no limit to how specialized each room's experience can be.
Yes — if you're not logged in or your account isn't linked, click Paste token manually in the playlist picker. Get your token from your Infinity Player dashboard: go to a playlist → share → copy the token from the URL (the part after /token/).
No — rooms are fully public. If you enable the lead gate, viewers enter their name, email, and phone to unlock the video, but they don't need to sign up or create an account.
Your room stays live. The stream continues to play for viewers. You can manually end it anytime from your manage link.
Facebook only allows embedding of public Page videos. Private videos, friends-only content, and group posts cannot be embedded. You'll see a "Watch on Facebook" fallback link instead.
Connect your Stripe account at /live/connect/setup. Tips deposit automatically to your bank account after settlement (~2 business days). You'll receive email confirmations for each tip.
You can simultaneously stream on other platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc.). Paste one URL into BuzzStream Live, and viewers on itsbuzzing.com see the embed you linked. Your audience can be on multiple platforms at the same time.
Yes — on the Go Live form, you can customize the heading and description that appears on the gate overlay. This is optional; we provide a default message if you don't customize it.
Leads are exported as CSV (comma-separated values), which opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and most email marketing platforms.
Replays stay live forever at /live/[slug]/replay. Viewers can watch on-demand anytime after your stream ends. You can disable or delete a replay from your manage page if needed.
No — create as many rooms as you want. Organize them by date or topic using your manage page.
Yes — network manager dashboards show all rooms, leads, and tips from tagged creators. Managers can track earnings and manage payouts.
Yes — open your manage page anytime and attach or swap a playlist. Viewers who reload the page will see the music dock immediately. Viewers already in the room will see it on their next page refresh.
They're separate. Your live stream (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) carries your voice and whatever audio you're streaming. The music dock is a viewer-side player — each viewer controls it independently. Viewers can run the dock music quietly as background while watching you, or turn it off entirely. The host doesn't control dock volume for viewers.
You need at least one playlist created in Infinity Player. If your Buzz Live room is tied to a network manager account, your playlists load automatically in the picker. If not, you can paste a playlist share token manually from your Infinity Player dashboard.
Yes — the dock is responsive and works on mobile. Autoplay during the waiting room state may be blocked by some mobile browsers (iOS Safari especially) until the viewer interacts with the page first — this is a browser security restriction, not a BuzzStream limitation.
When you use OBS + RTMP, you stream video directly to Buzz Live's servers. Viewers get a native HLS player — lower latency, no buffering issues, full control over overlays and lower thirds. When you embed a URL (YouTube, Facebook, etc.), we host the room page but the video itself still plays from that platform's servers. Both work — OBS gives you more control; embed is simpler if you're already streaming elsewhere.
Yes — overlays, polls, deal drops, and session markers all work on any room regardless of whether you're using RTMP or embedding a URL. Those features run on the Buzz Live room layer, not the video layer.
This usually means the stream key is wrong or the room was ended before you started OBS. Re-check your stream key from the Go Live page. If the room ended (manually or from inactivity), create a new room — stream keys are tied to rooms, not accounts.
Go to your Manage page → Producers panel → Invite Producer. Select Co-Producer or Producer role. They receive an email with their Producer Desk link. They open it on their own device (laptop or phone) and can push overlays, markers, and deal drops from wherever they are. No account required on their end.
Usually within 1–3 minutes of ending your room. The AI pipeline (summary, newsletter draft, sponsor recap) runs in the background immediately after you click End Room. Visit /live/[slug]/post-stream — it refreshes automatically when processing completes.
Not automatically yet — but you can improve results by adding more session markers the next time you stream. The AI uses your Highlight, Key Moment, and Sponsor markers as context anchors. More markers = better summaries and sponsor reports.
MP4, MOV, and WebM are fully supported. Export your clip from OBS as MP4 (H.264). Keep clips under 500MB for fastest upload. Longer clips can be split into multiple BuzzClip entries.
