Streaming on Zora

Ready to go live on Zora? Streaming lets you connect with your audience in real time, bringing your vision directly to the Zora community.

Important: This feature is currently available only to select creators as we refine it ahead of our wider launch.

Before you can start streaming, you'll need to get your unique stream credentials from Zora:

1. Go to zora.co (not the app) on the device you'll be streaming from

2. Sign in to your Zora account

3. Click the "➕" Create button on the left-hand side

4. Select "Live" from the create window

5. Save your Stream Key

IMPORTANT: Keep your Stream Key private. Never share them with anyone—no one, including Zora staff, will ever ask for these credentials.

Once you have your stream credentials, add them to your streaming software following its support guide for streaming to “Livepeer” or “Livepeer Studio” services. If your streaming software does not support streaming to “Livepeer” or “Livepeer Studio” services, you can manually configure your software using “RTMP” services using "rtmp://rtmp.livepeer.com/live" as the “Server."

Once you've configured your streaming software:

1. Start streaming in your software (OBS, Streamlabs, etc.)

2. Return to the Zora Create window you left open earlier

3. Confirm you can see and hear your livestream preview

4. Click "Go live" on Zora

Congratulations! You're now streaming on Zora!

After your stream ends, you can access recordings of your past streams directly on Zora. Archived streams older than 30 days are automatically deleted.

On Web:

1. Go to zora.co and sign in to your account

2. Click the "➕" Create button on the left-hand side

3. Select "Live" from the create window

4. Click the "Archive" button at the bottom of the window to view your stream archives

5. From here, you can download your past streams
