# Add Your Livestream to Pulse

**Video**

> **Transcript:** If you'd like your live stream itself to be visible in Pulse while it's happening, here's how to set that up. Every channel automatically has an asset tied to its live stream. We call this the Channel Stream Asset on your campuses channel. Click stream on the sidebar, then settings and click open this asset. Rename this asset to something clear. We recommend your campus code followed by live stream like MTN Livestream. And then we will scroll down and we will add our categories and our series. We will also need to see a thumbnail for this live stream. To add this, simply go to images. Click the upload and add your thumbnail. The last step will be to approve the asset, so we'll click approve down below and then update. Now let's make sure this actually shows up prominently and doesn't get lost with the archives. Head to your feed. If you have fewer than 25 campuses, you can simply pin the live stream asset to the top of the feed that keeps it appearing first every single time. If you have more than 25 campuses, pinning won't work the same way. Instead, adjust the assets air date to the far future, something like the year 2050. Since content sorts by air date, this keeps your live stream asset at the top of that campuses page in your Pulse Review Channel every time. Excellent. You now know how to add your live stream to Pulse. Thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video.

By default, Pulse shows archived recordings after an event ends. If you'd also like your live stream itself to be visible in Pulse while it's happening, this guide walks you through setting that up.

## Step 1: Find Your Live Stream's Asset

Every Channel automatically has an asset tied to its live stream.

1. On your campus's Channel, click **Stream** on the sidebar.
2. Click **Settings**.
3. Click **Open this asset**.

## Step 2: Rename the Asset

Rename this asset to something clear — we recommend your campus code followed by "Livestream," for example: **BAL Livestream**.

## Step 3: Tag the Asset

Just like any other Asset, add the **Category** and **Series** for this campus — the same tags you'd use for that location's regular archived content.

## Step 4: Get It to the Top of the Feed

How you do this depends on how many campuses your organization has:

- **Fewer than 25 campuses:** Go to your Feed and **pin** the live stream asset to the top. This keeps it appearing first, every time.
- **25 or more campuses:** Pinning won't work the same way at this scale. Instead, adjust the asset's **air date** to a date far in the future — for example, the year 2050. Since content sorts by air date, this keeps your live stream asset at the top of that campus's page in your Pulse Review Channel, every time.

## Step 5: Verify It Worked

Feeds are cached to improve page load times. Check your Pulse Review Site after 15 minutes to verify that the Livestream asset is now showing.
