Essential: The Stream Key can just be used for a single Live preview/post connection. You must use the exact same URL and secret to sneak peek and post. That is, you can not sneak peek, stop the stream, and after that resume at a later time. The URL and Key also end 24 Hr after development.

After you went into everything and if your stream is online, the "Go Live" button will be blue as you can see in this example, which suggests you are now all set to go live. Click on "Go Live" to do so or click Set up to setup a beginning time. If you go Live the Page will change to a preview of your Livestream. (See the red timer in the top left).
