2. Under New stream, select Schedule for Later and put in the time that your broadcast will start (note: the time that LinkedIn expects is local time).
3. Under Create a post, select the Page you want to stream to from the visibility dropdown (the icon that looks like a globe), and compose your post.
4. Under Your stream details, add a Title for your stream.
5. Once you create your stream, go to https://www.linkedin.com/video/golive/manage/ and click Prepare to Go Live on your stream 
   1. Note: you will only be able to do this 1 hour before your stream goes live
6. In the Stream settings tab, pick your region, then click Get URL.

On Goldcast Studio

1. Log in to Goldcast Studio with your credentials.

3. From your Event list, click your preferred event
4. Click Program in the menu on the left side and click the name of the session you would like to stream out to LinkedIn
5. Scroll down to the RTMP Out section and click the arrow next to it to expand the section if needed
6. Enter the Stream URL and Stream Key into the Custom section
   1. Make sure that your URL and Key are formatted like this example:

Back on LinkedIn

1. Back in the Prepare to Go Live screen on LinkedIn, you should start to see the stream come in 5-10 minutes before the broadcast start time. Once presenters are on stage, choose Go Live
