Recording, broadcasting & outputs

How do I go live and record at the same time?

Follow this workflow to go live and record at the same time.

Before you start

Prepare a Broadcast profile and a Recording profile for the intended layout.

Where to find it

Layout Output > Destinations.

Steps

Create a Broadcast Output Profile with the desired destination, feed, render settings, and audio mix.
Create a Recording Output Profile with the desired feed, folder, file format, and audio tracks.
In the intended layout, open Output > Destinations > Broadcast Destination, add the broadcast profile, and choose Done.
Under Recording Destination, add the recording profile and choose Done.
Start the recording and wait for its running state.
Start the broadcast, reviewing title, audience, privacy, and destination before confirming Start.
Confirm both destinations are running and check the receiving stream.
Stop each intended output when finished, then inspect the saved recording.

Check the result

Check both destination states and inspect the finished recording as well as the receiving stream.

Helpful information

Remove detaches a destination from this layout. Edit changes the chosen profile. Program/Preview feeds come from the attached layout; Scene/Source feeds require a selected target. Replay feeds require available replay channels.

If something is wrong

Attach both profiles under their respective destination families and start each intended output. One running output does not confirm the other is running.
