Using My Video Talk to Do a Live Broadcast

Even if you have never done a live broadcast and have no technical experience, My Video Talk has made it very simple and user friendly for people of all backgrounds. In this day and age, live broadcasting is an important tool especially for people doing business around the globe.

Follow these steps to begin making use of My Video Talk's Live Broadcast:

Step 1. Customize your broadcast to go with your brand. To do this you simply log in and just click "settings". Here you will be able to enter important information about your business including your business name, a description of your business, relevant keywords, and your Time-Zone. This section also allows you to select the background color for the header.

Once you enter the information, you will want to upload a company logo. Your logo dimensions should be 300x80 or 225x60. Then type the website address you want people to be taken to if they click on the logo.
You can then upload a banner. Your banner dimensions must be 468x80. Just as you did with the logo, type in the url you want people to be directed to if they click on the logo.

When you are pleased with the look click submit settings.

Step 2. This is an optional step that you should use only if you will be using slides or video in your live broadcast. Click "Content", create a new folder and upload your video.

Step 3. Click on "Broadcast" and then simply click "new broadcast". Select your broadcast schedule. Make sure you set the duration longer than the actual time of your planned broadcast. 2 hours is encouraged, this is valuable in the event you go over the time you initially had in mind. Click submit and then select the broadcast link.

Step 4. Log in, click broadcast, click invite more participants, click invite by email, enter the email addresses and click the plus sign to send your invitations. You can also just copy and paste the link and send by way of your own email account.

Step 5. Click on start broadcast and you should at that point see yourself on your web cam. If you cannot see yourself, merely right click over the video section and then click on settings to be sure the web cam you are using is set as default. You will see an icon of a lock to secure your audio. A green microphone on your video indicates that your microphone is on and viewers can hear you.

To share the content you uploaded in step two just select content.

Congratulations! You are now an Internet Superstar broadcasting live.

My Video Talk Live Broadcast includes additional features not covered here, such as the capability to share your desktop, bring on other people into your live broadcast, display whiteboards, file share, and surveys.
