Live streaming Beta
Stream your events live to fans who've purchased PPV access. SHWDWN handles the infrastructure — you just need streaming software like OBS.
Setting up your stream
- Open your event from the dashboard and go to the Streaming tab.
- You'll see your stream credentials:
- RTMP Server — the server URL to paste into your streaming software
- Stream Key — your unique key (keep this private)
- Open OBS (or your preferred streaming software), go to Settings → Stream, select "Custom", and paste the RTMP server URL and stream key.
- Click "Start Streaming" in OBS. The Streaming tab on SHWDWN will update to show your stream status in real-time.
Stream statuses
- Ready — stream is set up but not receiving video yet
- Connected — your streaming software has connected to the server
- Live — you're broadcasting and fans can watch
- Disconnected — the stream was interrupted (check your connection)
- Ended — the stream has been stopped
Automatic recordings
Every stream is automatically recorded. Once the stream ends, the recording is processed and available as a replay on the event page. You don't need to do anything — it happens automatically.
PPV access
Only fans who've purchased a PPV ticket can watch the live stream. The event page shows a locked state for non-purchasers with a prompt to buy PPV access.
Tip: Test your stream setup before fight night. You can start and stop the stream as many times as you need while the event is in draft — it won't be visible to fans until the event is published and you go live.
