Step 5: Arrive at the password-protected Broadcaster. You will need a password to start broadcasting. Please ask your hub team for the password.
Step 6: Once you’ve enabled the Broadcaster, click Allow. The broadcaster will automatically locate your webcamera, which appears as a “Video Source” in the bottom panel. Your audio source should be the same as your video source. In this example, the Broadcaster has located a Logitech Webcam Pro.

Identify your video recording by name, date and time recorded. In order to view the recording at a later date over the Internet, you will need to create a webpage and use the EMBED CODE (widgetizes the video recording and allows you to put it into your own web page code) for the video recording. (Think YouTube videos.)
