Is it possible to host Zoom webinars or meetings on Discourse? Like, can I create a topic and livestream my Zoom meeting/webinar there? If not, would it be possible to do so through YouTube live maybe?

Hello Lucy :wave: There is an official Zoom plugin however, if you are using official Discourse hosting then this is only available on the enterprise plan [image] Discourse Zoom Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Zoom empowers Discourse administrators and users with a paid Zoom subscription to schedule, manage, and participate in Zoom webinars directly from their Discourse platform. hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://github.com/discourse/discourse-zoom open_book Install Guide How to install plugins in Discourse Overview This plugin integrates Zoom webinars into a Discourse instance.

Thanks but that’s not what I want to do and this plugin is too limited.

We do have a new plugin for live-streaming events, though it’s too new for me to know a lot about it. :slight_smile: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-livestream

@JammyDodger I can’t find much info on Discourse about LIVE streaming. We’re looking to ramp up our LIVE streams using Streamyard or Restream directly to our Discourse Community. Any advice on what’s the best way to get me started? I have never installed a plugin on our Community, would it be the case that I’d install it and we’re good to directly stream here? Thank you in advance! :blush: :raised_hands:

I believe the discourse-livestream plugin I linked above can handle Streamyard. :crossed_fingers: I’m afraid I still don’t have much direct experience with it, but I think @jordan-violet has been using it very successfully in his community for live events. It doesn’t look like there’s much documentation for it yet still, but it sounds like it’s worth installing and checking it out. :slight_smile:
