2. To create a live studio, select Studio. If you would like to stream a Pre-Recorded video as if it were "live", you can select Pre-recorded video (more information on pre-recorded streaming can be found here).

3. Under Select Destinations, click the "+" icon to add the platforms that you'd like to stream to. Click on the type of destination you'd like to add, and log into it to add it.
You can also add destinations by going to your Destinations tab, and clicking Add a Destination.

4. Once you've added your destinations, click on the destination icons to select the ones that you would like to stream to. This is where you can set up multi-streaming, by selecting multiple destinations at one time! If the icon is highlighted, it means you have successfully selected it for this stream.

5. Enter your title and description for your stream in the corresponding boxes. By clicking Customize for each destination, you can make these titles and descriptions different for each selected destination!

6. If you would like to schedule your stream for a later time, you can select the option Schedule for Later. Here, you will be able to set your desired start time for the stream.

7. If you'd like to add a thumbnail to your stream, click Upload thumbnail to upload an image from your computer.
