Create your event in the Kaltura Management Console.
In the header, click |mi-add|.
From the Create list, select Live video. A content edit page appears.
In the Internal Name field, enter a name for this live video. (This name appears throughout Brightspot.)
From the Provider list, select Kaltura (ID).
In the Entry ID field, enter the ID of the live stream you created in step 1.

Turn on Make Live to display the video player immediately.
Complete your site's workflow and publish the live video.
If your live video is configured correctly, Brightspot displays a confirmation image in the Thumbnail Preview field.
