TRaX Streaming Help Center

Question 1

How do I start streaming with TRaX Streaming?

Accepted Answer

To start streaming, go to the Studio page and click the "Go Live" button. Make sure you have configured your destinations in the Destinations section first. You can also set up sources like webcam, microphone, or screen capture in the Sources section.

Question 2

What equipment do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

TRaX Streaming works with basic equipment: a webcam, microphone, and stable internet connection. For professional quality, consider upgrading to a dedicated streaming camera, audio interface, and lighting setup.

Question 3

What is Friend Input Sharing?

Accepted Answer

Friend Input Sharing allows you to share your camera feeds, microphone, screen, or media files directly with trusted friends and collaborators. They can use your inputs in their streams with your permission, enabling seamless collaborative streaming and multi-host productions.

Question 4

How do I share an input with a friend?

Accepted Answer

Open the shared inputs flow in the studio, choose the source you want to share, pick who should receive it, and send the request. The recipient must explicitly approve it before it becomes available in their studio.

Question 5

How do I approve or reject shared inputs from friends?

Accepted Answer

When someone shares an input with you, the request shows up in the shared inputs workflow and the studio notification surfaces. Approve it to make the source available in your studio or reject it to decline access.

Question 6

Can I revoke access to a shared input?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shared inputs are approval-based, and you can revoke access later if the collaboration ends or the source should no longer be available.

Question 7

Is Friend Input Sharing secure?

Accepted Answer

The important control is explicit approval. Shared inputs are not automatically exposed to another studio, and the owner can remove access later.

Question 8

What types of inputs can I share?

Accepted Answer

TRaX already works well with cameras, microphones, screens, browser sources, and media inputs. Shared-input availability can vary depending on the source type and how the studio is configured.

Question 9

Can I set an expiration date for shared inputs?

Accepted Answer

Treat shared inputs as active until you remove or revoke them. If you need tighter workflow rules for a production, confirm the exact behavior in your current studio build before relying on it live.

Question 10

How do I use a friend's shared input in my stream?

Accepted Answer

After approval, shared inputs appear as available source options inside the studio. Add them like any other production source and place them where they belong in the show.

Question 11

Can I stream to multiple platforms at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TRaX supports multi-destination output to major platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and Trovo via OAuth, plus Instagram, X, TikTok, Rumble, and any custom RTMP target via stream key.

Question 12

What streaming quality options are available?

Accepted Answer

TRaX Streaming supports professional 1080p streaming across all plans with broadcast-quality output. All plans include high-definition streaming with customizable bitrate, frame rate, and encoding settings for optimal performance.

Question 13

How do I optimize my stream for better performance?

Accepted Answer

Focus on the live workflow: keep upload bandwidth healthy, reduce unnecessary active sources, verify destinations before going live, and rehearse guest or shared-input joins before the real show.

Question 14

How should I think about scenes and layouts today?

Accepted Answer

TRaX is still building out parts of the scene and layout workflow. Today the safe expectation is source-driven production with layout work continuing to evolve inside the studio.

Question 15

Can I include friend's inputs in my scenes?

Accepted Answer

Approved shared inputs can be used as part of the production just like other sources. They are especially useful for guest-driven shows and remote multi-host setups.

Question 16

Can I bring in my own graphics or branded assets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The current studio already works with images, media, text, browser sources, and other source types that help you shape the look of a show. Some broader presentation tooling is still evolving, so test your exact workflow first.

Question 17

How do I upgrade my plan?

Accepted Answer

Use the billing flow tied to your account to change plans. The practical knobs are how many inputs, outputs, and support expectations you need for your production.

Question 18

Does friend input sharing cost extra?

Accepted Answer

Shared-input workflows are part of the collaborative studio story, but overall production capacity still depends on the plan you choose and how many inputs and outputs your show needs.
