ID LIVE

One place to understand limits, costs, and how to preview your channel. Creating streams and signing playback uses server-side APIs through GKLive.TV — never in the browser.

Open anytime from the header: Create → ID LIVE.

Streaming guidelines

  • Fair use. Starter plans target up to ~10 hours of live encoding per month per creator unless your contract says otherwise.
  • Quality. 1080p at 3.5–6 Mbps is the sweet spot for sports; 720p saves cost if networks are weak.
  • Restreams. One active live per channel by default — contact us for multi-cam or simulcast.
  • Compliance. Music, logos, and minors on camera must follow your league and GKZiD terms.

Replay & clips

When the live ends, GKLive.TV can keep a VOD asset for replay. The dashboard and APIs support clipping highlights you can share to Reel or social.

Exact features depend on your workspace settings and signed playback policies.

Usage & storage (illustrative)

Streams typically bill for encoding time, delivery, and stored minutes. Figures below are planning examples — confirm details on GKLive.TV ↗.

Line item What it is Example tier
Live ingest Per-minute while you are broadcasting Included up to plan cap, then overage
Replay storage Archived VOD after the event 7-day / 30-day / season-long retention
Delivery Bytes to viewers (CDN) Scales with audience size
Clipping Short segments from replay Often minimal extra vs. storage of the master asset

Turnkey setup (API)

  1. Work with GKLive.TV to provision API access (tokens stay on the server only).
  2. Your backend creates a live stream and returns the stream key to OBS / mobile encoder.
  3. After the event, read the playback ID from the asset and embed the player — or paste it above for a quick check.
  4. Optional: webhooks for video.live_stream.active / idle to toggle ID LIVE badges in GKZiD.

We can wire a small Edge or Node endpoint (e.g. POST /api/mux/live) next — keep tokens in env vars, never in this page.
