Each of the above-listed streaming video broadcast services has its requirement for registering new members, who want to stream live videos. However, you, certainly, are required to create an account with each before using their platform to stream live video. Most times, you can open an account for free. But when you need special privileges services, you may be required to pay.

3. Utilize Available Tools and Built-In Programs to Stream Video
After creating an account with your selected video streaming service provider, you will normally have access to built-in tools that will aid you in successfully streamlining the features related to your video streaming. You may not need to download extra software before broadcasting.

4. Create a Room or Broadcast Channel
After signing into your created account, you need to create a channel or room, where your video will be hosted. You need a channel that will display your exclusive address where you are broadcasting from. This is like having a webinar where you have a URL to invite people to join in your meeting.

5. Ensure to Enable Flash Before Broadcasting
Follow all required settings right for add-ons and other software that will ensure smooth streaming. You will likely get a “no broadcast” error message if your flash (e.g. Adobe flash) is not enabled to get access to your webcam or video camera. You need to enable it for you to have a successful video broadcast.

Having got all the right and with your high-speed internet, webcam or video camera, all connecting cables or Wi-Fi turned on, it is time to start broadcasting. Ensure that your camera or webcam is detected before you click the broadcast button, and you’re good to go.

I would say step1 is to determine what you wish to stream and step 2 is to determine what equipment you need to do this with and if the stuff you currently have meets the requirements. I consider your ISP and Data Rates as part of this equipment you will need.

You make no mention of needing a pc, camera, capture card, mic, or even internet... what will they be streaming following these basic instructions?
