Turn on auto-live
Let signal arriving mean the stream goes out automatically, instead of clicking "go on air" every time.
By default, receiving a feed and fanning it out to platforms are two separate steps — you get signal the moment your encoder connects, and it only becomes on-air once you press the cockpit's "go on air" button. Auto-live collapses that into one step for streamers who don't need the manual pause to check their frame first.
Turn it on
Toggle Auto-live in the cockpit. This flag isn't pushed to the receiving box — it's read at the moment a stream is actually published, so switching it on doesn't retroactively affect a broadcast already in progress.
Not the default
Immediately fanning out on signal used to be the only behavior; it's now opt-in. If you want the old behavior back — no manual "go on air" step — turn this on once and it stays on for future broadcasts until you turn it off.
How to verify it worked
Start a fresh publish (a new signal) with auto-live on: the cockpit should show on-air as soon as signal appears, without you touching the "go on air" control.
What's next
Rotate your stream key — a short, security-focused task worth knowing before you need it urgently.
