StreamStage
StreamStage is a cloud-based live production dashboard that lets solo creators and small teams go live from your browser with scene switching, overlays, chat, and audio controls — all without needing OBS or complicated setup.
What is StreamStage?
StreamStage is the core production tool for It's Buzzing creators. Unlike Buzz Live (which embeds YouTube or Twitch streams), StreamStage is a native browser-based producer dashboard where your stream originates. You don't need OBS, capture cards, or external encoders — everything runs in your browser.
Scene Switching
Switch between camera feeds, screen share, graphics, and lower-thirds instantly — all one-click.
Live Overlays
Fire polls, CTAs, sponsors, alerts, and graphics to viewer screens in real time without hitting pause.
Audio Meters
Visual level indicators for all audio inputs — monitor mic levels, music, and guest audio simultaneously.
Live Chat Panel
See viewer messages in real time, reply, and moderate — all from the producer dashboard.
Session Markers
Tag Highlights, Clips, Sponsors, and Key Moments during your stream for instant post-production.
BuzzClip Integration
Clip moments directly from the stream into your media library — no post-edit needed.
KEY DIFFERENCE FROM BUZZ LIVE
Buzz Live embeds a YouTube or Twitch stream into your It's Buzzing page — the stream originates elsewhere. StreamStage IS where your stream originates — you broadcast directly to It's Buzzing viewers, no external platform needed.
Quick Start (5 Steps)
Get live in under 5 minutes.
Create an It's Buzzing Account
Head to itsbuzzing.com/register and sign up with your email or social login. It takes 60 seconds.
Connect Your Stripe Account
Go to itsbuzzing.com/events/connect/onboard and authorize Stripe. This unlocks paid ticket sales, subscriptions, and merchandise — even if you don't use them yet.
Launch Your Stream
Visit itsbuzzing.com/streamstage and click "Go Live". Give your stream a title, pick your category, and enter the producer dashboard.
Set Up Your Scene
Add your camera, screen, or both. Test audio levels using the meter. The viewer window on the right shows exactly what your audience sees.
Share Your Stream URL
Copy your public watch link from the dashboard (something like itsbuzzing.com/watch/your-stream-id) and paste it to Twitter, Discord, or email. Start broadcasting.
Pro tip: Test your camera and mic before going live. Use the preview window in setup mode to confirm everything looks good.
The Producer Dashboard
When you're live, the StreamStage producer dashboard is your command center. Here's what you see and control:
RTMP for External Tools
Advanced users can connect external broadcasting software (OBS, Streamlabs OBS, or Meta View for Ray-Ban glasses) directly to StreamStage using RTMP. This lets you leverage your existing gear or connect wearable cameras.
RTMP SERVER DETAILS
Copy this server URL to your encoder settings (OBS Stream tab, Service = Custom).
STREAM KEY
Found in the producer dashboard under "Encoder Setup". Keep it secret — anyone with it can broadcast to your channel.
COMPATIBLE WITH
- →OBS Studio (free, all platforms)
- →Streamlabs OBS (free, Windows/Mac)
- →Meta View App (Ray-Ban glasses)
- →Any RTMP-capable encoder (vMix, Wirecast, ffmpeg, etc.)
Why use external RTMP? You may want to broadcast from a complex setup with multiple cameras, a soundboard, or specialized hardware. StreamStage accepts RTMP feeds so you can use existing gear.
Post-Stream Automation
When you end your stream, StreamStage automatically generates content and reports. Everything is delivered to your Post-Stream Inbox within 5–10 minutes.

FAQ
No. StreamStage runs entirely in your browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all work. If you want to use external encoders like OBS or Ray-Ban glasses, you'll connect via RTMP, but the StreamStage dashboard itself is browser-only.
Yes. Use the Meta View app on your glasses, select "Custom RTMP", and paste the StreamStage RTMP URL + stream key. Your glasses feed goes live to all StreamStage viewers. Full setup guide: /help/glasses-setup.
StreamStage auto-reconnects within 10 seconds. Viewers see a "reconnecting" status bar but the stream doesn't cut out. Your audio/video resumes seamlessly once the connection restores.
From the producer dashboard, click "Invite Guest". A browser-based guest invite link is generated. Your guest clicks it from any device (phone, tablet, laptop) and joins your stream directly in their browser. No download needed. You can see and hear them, switch their feed to the viewer screen, and control their audio levels.
