When setting up your Live Shopping Event, you have the option of simulcasting the event to Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, or a Custom host.
Go to your Instagram account -> Create -> Live video
Copy the Stream URL and Stream key and copy them into their respective fields in the Live Shopping event.
Once the above step is completed, you should see the Instagram simulcasting as being "Activated".
Once the Live Shopping event starts, you will need to manually start it for Instagram by going to the Live Video menu and clicking on "Go Live".
Please be advised that the Instagram stream will only show the video stream, without the chat and the products - you will need to access the initial Videowise Live Shopping event in order to have access to all the aforementioned features.
Important best practice : If you are simulcasting on Instagram, don't forget to pin your Shows Channel link page in the comments of the IG live shows - this way your IG viewers can access the initial show where they can actually purchase the products from.

Go to your Facebook account -> Live video
Copy the Stream key and then go to Advanced Settings and copy the Server URL.
Once the above step is completed, you should see the Facebook simulcasting as being "Activated".
Similar to the Instagram stream, you will need to go to the "Live video" menu and click on "Go Live". There is also the possibility of scheduled broadcasts - in this case, the stream will automatically start when the initial stream starts.
Youtube
The same principle applies as for Instagram and Facebook - simply copy/paste the Stream URL and Stream key. Once this is activated, the stream will start on Youtube automatically, once the Live Shopping event starts.
Custom host
Simply copy/paste the Stream URL and Stream key for the Custom host.
Enjoy your live shopping experience across multiple social media platforms :).
