Live streaming

Genesis can put a live broadcast player right on your site — your own streaming setup, on your own page, with a live viewer count. You broadcast from any standard streaming app (OBS, Streamlabs…), and your visitors watch on your site.

Adding a stream to a page

Ask the AI — “add a live stream”, “добавь трансляцию” — or pick Live Stream from the / slash menu. Genesis places the stream player on your page (or creates a dedicated page if you ask for one, with the nav link added).

Note

One live stream per page. If you want several streams, put them on separate pages.

What lands on the page is a full player: it shows a “Stream Offline” placeholder when you’re not broadcasting, and switches to live video automatically when you go live.

Setting up your channel

Click the placed stream element in the preview — the Live Stream panel opens on the right with a status badge (LIVE / Offline).

First time, click Setup Stream Channel. Genesis creates your streaming channel and gives you two credentials:

• RTMP Server URL — where your streaming app sends the video.
• Stream Key — your private key (masked by default; use the show/hide toggle and copy button).

Caution

Treat the Stream Key like a password — anyone who has it can broadcast on your page. If it leaks, click Regenerate Credentials to get a fresh URL + key (the old ones stop working; update your streaming app).

Going live (with OBS or any RTMP app)

1. In your streaming software, set up a Custom streaming service:
   • Server → paste the RTMP Server URL
   • Stream Key → paste your key
2. Start streaming in the app.
3. In Genesis, click Go Live in the stream panel — your page switches from the offline placeholder to the live player.
4. When you’re done: stop the stream in your app and click Go Offline.

While you’re live, the panel shows the current viewer count.

Tip

The Go Live / Go Offline button controls what your page shows, separately from your broadcast software. That’s useful: start OBS first, check everything, and only then flip the page live.

What your viewers see

• Adaptive quality — the player adjusts to each viewer’s connection automatically.
• The video starts muted (browsers require it) — viewers click to unmute; there’s a clear “Muted!” hint.
• A LIVE badge with a red pulsing dot. If a viewer pauses or falls behind, it dims to “Go live” — clicking it snaps back to real time.
• A viewer counter showing how many people are watching right now.
• Play/pause and mute controls in a bar that appears on hover.
• When you’re offline: a clean “Stream Offline” placeholder (with your poster image if one is set).

The live/offline switch happens in real time — viewers sitting on the page see the stream start without refreshing.

Webinars — stream + chat together

Ask for a webinar (“create a webinar page”, or the Webinar slash command) and Genesis builds the full layout: the live stream as the main area with a live chat alongside it (chat moves below the video on mobile).

It will ask one question — whether the webinar should be your home page or a separate /webinar page — and builds accordingly.

The chat piece gives visitors guest sign-in (name + email), message history, and a presence counter. You can also add a live chat on its own — just ask for “a live chat” without the stream.

Notes

• Syndicate blocks: if the stream on your page came from a Syndicate block someone else published, its settings are managed by the original publisher — your panel shows the status as read-only.
• No recording: streams are live-only; there’s no built-in recording or replay (VOD). To publish a replay, record locally in your streaming app and add it as a video.
