Content Submission Types

ENS Live Studio supports four main content submission options:

  1. Live Content

  2. Pre-recorded Content

  3. RTMP Content

  4. Social Channels

Choose the option that best matches your event or broadcast needs.

1. Live Content

This option lets you broadcast in real time on ENS Live and its platforms.

Best for:

  • One-on-one broadcasts

  • Business or organizational webinars

  • Product or service demonstrations

  • Real-time events, announcements, or Q&A sessions

You will typically:

  • Set a date and time for your live session

  • Configure your live source (camera, encoder, or supported tool)

  • Go live at the scheduled time through ENS Live Studio

2. Pre-recorded Content

This option allows you to upload pre-recorded videos and schedule them to broadcast as if they were live.

Best for:

  • Special events and celebrations

  • Organized or recurring broadcasts

You will typically:

  • Upload your video file

  • Add metadata (title, description, category, etc.)

3. Custom RTMP / OBS

This method is designed for more advanced or professional setups and requires technical configuration.

Key points:

This option is ideal for real-time professional broadcasting with higher production quality.

4. Social Media Channels

With a supported plan, ENS Live Studio can distribute your live content simultaneously to social media platforms.

You may:

  • Maximize visibility without managing multiple separate streams
