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

> Learn how to stream a live event, Zoom call, Microsoft Teams meeting, or OBS broadcast to your digital signage screens using Pickcel's Event Stream app

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.

## Create the Event Stream app in Pickcel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search for the app">
    Log in to your [Pickcel account](https://console.pickcel.com/). Go to the **Apps** module and search for **Event Stream**.

    Click the **Event Stream** app card, then click **Create App** in the app details panel.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a name and create the stream channel">
    Enter a **Name** for the app, then click **Create Stream Channel** and wait for the credentials to generate.

    <Note>
      The name can't contain spaces or special characters.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your streaming credentials">
    Once the channel is created, copy the **Streaming URL** and **Streaming key**. You'll paste these into your streaming tool of choice in the next step.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Close and create a composition">
    Click **Close**, then create a composition and add the app to it, and assign it to your screens.

    Screens show a "Waiting for stream to start" message until you actually start streaming.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Start streaming to your screen

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Zoom, Teams, or OBS (recommended)">
    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.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Pickcel Go (quick option)">
    For a casual update or a quick test, you can stream straight from your phone's camera with the **Pickcel Go** app, no other software needed.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Install Pickcel Go app">
        Install the Pickcel Go app from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/in/app/pickcel-go-digital-signage/id1533647872) or [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.signage.software.editor\&hl=en) if you haven't already.
