Sharing your Channel
Viostream's Channels are designed to work well either as standalone websites, or to be embedded within your own website or intranet page. Simply use the Share button to grab the link or the embed code, and you'll be up and running in no time!

By default, your Channels will be available at a https://channel.viostream.com/

using your own custom domain. Please reach out to Customer Success via the Live
