Going live and ending

The Go live button, title and category, and what to keep open.

Press Go live (Controls panel). If you've signed in with Twitch, you can set the title and category first; you can change them while live with Title & category.

While live:

• Keep the flint tab open. It can be behind your game or in another window; it keeps going.
• If the connection drops, flint reconnects by itself and shows "Reconnecting…".
• The Stats panel shows how the stream is doing.

End stream stops it. You can also record at the same time: see recording.
