3. Add a new scene with a Web Cam layer (make sure that your microphone is connected as well).

4. Activate the AutoSync mode and launch your stream by clicking GO Live button.

Note: If you make any changes within a scene (f.e. dragging or removing layers) while AutoSync Mode is active, all the changes will be SYNCed and visible to your audience right away.
If you don't want to synchronize any changes automatically, you can do it manually by clicking Sync with Live button instead.

Enable autosync mode

5. Now your pre-recorded video is live.

Note: When the stream is live, you'll see a Red dot in the corner of the scene, which is currently synchronized and displayed in your stream.
