Does my computer need to stay on?
Short answer
No. Once you press Go Live, your stream plays from our servers. You can close the tab, close the laptop or switch your computer off.
Why it keeps going
Your media is already uploaded to LiveGoLive, so after Go Live your browser, your power and your home internet are no longer part of the stream. Close the laptop, go to bed or take it on holiday: your channel keeps playing.
When you need your computer again
Only to change things: edit a playlist, start or stop a stream, or upload new media. You can do that from Studio in any browser, on any device.
