Live Event Streaming - Black Magic Web Presenter + OBS

Live event streaming is available in:

BMC 1.202 Flemming Lecture Hall

BMC 2.106 Auditorium

All of the streaming (as of 2019) uses Black Magic Web Presenter.

If you need to stream to an event you will need to use OBS (Open Broadcast Software),  copy the Stream Key from the platform you are using and paste it into the OBS interface.
