The essentials for planning your next 2026 midterm broadcast.
See current plansWhat is multistreaming for political campaigns?
Multistreaming distributes one live video feed to several online destinations at once. Campaign teams and civic organizations can use Switchboard Live to broadcast town halls, forums, and updates across their connected channels.
Which platforms can I livestream to at the same time?
Switchboard Live lets you broadcast simultaneously to major social platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Rumble, LinkedIn, and Twitch. Connect supported platforms through native integrations, or add any other destination that accepts an RTMP feed using its RTMP URL and stream key. See the destination setup guides for connection options.
Which platforms support Scheduled Events?
Scheduled Events currently creates upcoming broadcasts on YouTube, Facebook Pages, and X. Set your date, time, title, and event details in Switchboard Live before your event. Advance event creation is available on these three platforms; your live distribution options extend to many more destinations. See the latest scheduling update for platform details.
Can I share viewing links before a scheduled broadcast?
Yes. Once you create your scheduled event on YouTube, Facebook Pages, or X, share its viewing links through your website, newsletter, and social channels. Residents can find where to watch ahead of time, and your team can promote the event before going live.
Does scheduling automatically start my livestream?
Scheduling prepares your upcoming event. At broadcast time, send your video feed to Switchboard Live and start the stream. Plan a connection check before your event rather than relying on scheduling to launch it unattended.
What equipment or software do I need?
You need a video source, compatible streaming software or an encoder, a suitable internet connection, and access to the destinations you want to use. Switchboard Live manages distribution of your feed. The help center has setup guides.
