Publish a live stream on an SDP site

Live streams are embedded on an SDP landing page in an iframe.

You need to select and subscribe to a live streaming service such as Vimeo or YouTube. If you choose another provider, you’ll need to check that your provider is on our whitelist (see ‘testing’ below).

Once you have set up an account, you just need to embed the iframe.

Using Vimeo as your live stream provider

For live streams in Vimeo, you need to ensure:

  • your livestream video is set to 'Public'

  • full screen is supported.

Testing your livestream

We recommend setting this up in advance so that you can test your Livestream iframe embed link and provide the URL to the SDP team so that we can check if it needs to be added to our Content Security Policy (CSP). We need to ensure that the URL can be published.

Please allow 1-2 business days for the URL to be added to the Content Security Policy (CSP) - this is where we add the Livestreaming URL to the CSP so that the website will actually publish the Livestream, otherwise it will be blocked.
