This page covers the current room-based live stream system, including direct streams, co-streams, product tagging, broadcast status, and moderation review. This is the current live stream management system. Streams created before migration remain available in [Live Stream Management (Legacy)](/analytics-and-moderation/console/management/live-stream-management). ## Dashboard overview The live stream dashboard lists room-based streams created after migration to the room-based architecture.

Live Stream Management shows room-based live streams. For accounts still using legacy streams, streams created before migration remain available under [Live Stream Management (Legacy)](/analytics-and-moderation/console/management/live-stream-management). | Column | Description | | - | - | | **Thumbnail** | Preview image of the live stream | | **Live stream title** | Name of the stream | | **Live stream type** | Stream type: `Direct stream` or `Co-stream` | | **Creator** | User who created the stream | | **Products tagged** | Number of products tagged to the stream | | **Broadcast status** | Current status: `Not started`, `Live`, `Finished`, or `Terminated` | | **Duration** | Total broadcast duration, displayed after the stream ends | | **Moderation** | AI moderation result, such as `Passed` or a flagged category | | **Created at** | Stream creation timestamp | Use the **broadcast status** filter at the top of the dashboard to find streams by state. ## Quick start Go to **Console > Live stream > Live stream** from the left sidebar navigation. Click **Create live stream** in the top-right corner. Add the title, optional description, and optional thumbnail. Turn on **Enable Live Chat** to let viewers send messages during the broadcast. Review the details and click **Create live stream**. ## Create a live stream To create a new live stream, click **Create live stream** from the dashboard. Streams created from the Console are configured as **direct streams**. Advanced live features, such as co-streaming, are available when starting a stream from your app with the SDK or API.

The detail page includes stream information, feed details, broadcast information, and moderation results. | Section | Details | | - | - | | Stream information | Title, description, thumbnail, live stream type, broadcast status, and stream ID | | Feed details | Creator, creator ID, and creation timestamp | | Broadcast info | Started time, ended time, duration, and recorded video playback when available | | Moderation | Moderation status, flagged categories, and severity indicators | ### Stream actions * **Edit stream**: Update the title, description, and thumbnail. * **Delete stream**: Permanently remove the stream. * **Copy stream ID**: Copy the unique stream identifier. Deleting a stream is permanent. Associated data, including recordings and moderation history, is removed. ## Broadcast status | Status | Description | | - | - | | Not started | The stream has been created, but broadcasting has not begun. | | Live | The stream is currently broadcasting and viewers can watch in real time. | | Finished | The broadcast ended normally. Playback and final duration are available when processing completes. | | Terminated | The stream was forcibly ended, usually because of moderation or policy enforcement. | ## Content moderation Live streams are automatically reviewed by AI content moderation. Results appear in the dashboard and stream detail page. | Status | Indicator | Description | | - | - | - | | Passed | Green | Stream content passed moderation checks. | | Violence | Yellow or red | Violent content was detected. Severity can vary. | | Nudity | Red | Adult or explicit content was detected. | | Other flags | Varies | Additional content policy violations were detected. | Prioritize red-flagged streams first because they indicate critical content that may violate community guidelines or require immediate action. ## Product tagging Live streams support product tagging for shoppable live commerce experiences. The **Products tagged** column shows how many products are associated with each stream. | Area | Description | | - | - | | Tag source | Products are tagged to streams through the SDK or API. | | Console visibility | Tagged products appear on the stream detail page and as a count in the dashboard. | | Viewer experience | Viewers can browse tagged products during or after the stream. | ## Best practices * **Use descriptive titles**: Help viewers find and understand your stream content. * **Upload thumbnails**: Use a 1280x720 image when possible. * **Add descriptions**: Provide context about what viewers can expect. * **Plan ahead**: Create streams in advance and share details before going live. * **Monitor broadcast status**: Keep the Console open during live events. * **Review moderation flags**: Check flagged streams promptly and take appropriate action. * **Use status filters**: Filter by broadcast status to find active or problematic streams. * **Track terminated streams**: Investigate terminated streams to understand policy violations. * **Tag before going live**: Ensure products are tagged before the broadcast starts. * **Limit product count**: Focus on featured items rather than overwhelming viewers. * **Update tags post-stream**: Keep product associations current for replay viewers. ## Troubleshooting | Issue | Likely cause | Resolution | | - | - | - | | Cannot create stream | Missing required title field | Enter a stream title. Maximum length: 150 characters. | | Thumbnail upload fails | Image exceeds 2 MB or uses an unsupported format | Use an image under 2 MB in a supported format such as PNG or JPG. | | Stream shows `Not started` | Broadcaster has not gone live yet | Wait for the broadcaster to start the stream from the app. | | Stream terminated unexpectedly | Content moderation flag triggered | Review moderation details on the stream detail page. | | Products not showing | Product tags have not synced yet | Refresh the page and verify product tagging through the SDK or API. | | Co-stream not in Console | Co-streams are created from the app | Co-streams created from the app appear in the list automatically. | | Live chat not available | Stream has not started or has no post attached, or live chat was not enabled | Enable **Live Chat** when creating the stream. Chat becomes available once the broadcast starts and has a post attached. | | Duration not displaying | Stream has not finished yet | Duration appears after the broadcast ends. | | Cannot find legacy streams | Legacy streams are in a separate view | Go to **Live stream > Live stream (Legacy)** in the sidebar. | ## Use cases Create direct streams with tagged products for real-time shopping experiences during broadcasts. Enable multiple participants to broadcast together for interviews, panels, or collaborative content. Monitor AI moderation results across all streams to maintain community safety standards. Set up and manage scheduled live stream events with preconfigured titles, descriptions, and thumbnails. ## Related topics Review and manage content moderation for live stream broadcasts.
