How to stream a live event, Zoom, or Teams meeting to your digital signage screens?

With Pickcel’s Event Stream app, you can display a live stream on any of your screens. Paste in credentials from a streaming tool you already use, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS Studio, or any other software with RTMP streaming support, and your event plays live wherever the app is published. If you don’t already have a streaming setup, Pickcel Go, our mobile app, is a quick way to stream directly from your phone’s camera instead.

Start streaming to your screen

Zoom, Teams, or OBS (recommended)
Pickcel Go (quick option)

Most streaming tools have a Custom Streaming Service or RTMP option that accepts the same Streaming URL (server) and Streaming key you copied above:

Zoom: enable Custom Live Streaming Service for your meeting or webinar, then paste the Streaming URL and Streaming key.
Microsoft Teams: use a Custom Streaming App for the meeting, then paste the Streaming URL and Streaming key.
OBS Studio: go to Settings → Stream, set the service to Custom, then paste the Streaming URL as the Server and the Streaming key as the Stream Key.

Once you start streaming from the tool, the feed appears live on any screen where the app is published.
