To retrieve the stream URL for your viewers:

- Click Status; the following page opens displaying the stream protocol that is supported based on the selected codecs.
- Jot down the either the Live Broadcast , RTSP stream or other web streaming address. This is the address you can send to viewers or to create a link to your broadcast.
Users must install Bonjour Print Services on their Windows or Mac computer to access the live Preview using the serial number.
If you're seeing URLs with serial numbers instead of IP addresses and want to change this, log into the Admin panel by IP address (instead of by Serial number/Bonjour Print Services) to see URLs with the IP address. (See Connect to the Admin panel.)
