Use the **Video Screen** smart item together with the **Scene Admin** smart item to stream live video into your scene.
-## Requirements
+Decentraland offers different ways to stream live video into your scene:
-- A scene with at least one [Video Screen]({{< ref "/content/creator/scene-editor/interactivity/video-screen.md" >}}) smart item.
-- The [Scene Admin]({{< ref "/content/creator/scene-editor/live-ops/scene-admin.md" >}}) smart item linked to your video screens.
-- Streaming software that can output to an RTMP endpoint (e.g. [OBS](https://obsproject.com/), [XSplit](https://www.xsplit.com/), [StreamYard](https://streamyard.com/)).
+- **DCL Cast** _(Easy Mode)_: Use Decentraland's free streaming web app to easily share your camera or screen with other players in the scene, no need to set up a streaming software. This mode has the lowest latency and is the easiest to set up.
+- **Stream** _(Advanced Mode)_: Use a streaming software like [OBS](https://obsproject.com/) to stream through Decentraland's streaming infrastructure. This mode allows you to have more control over the stream, like screen layout and audio sources.
+- **Video URL** _(Advanced Mode)_: Point to your own streaming infrastructure, by pasting the URL into the **Video URL** field.
+
+
+
+
+
+Streaming works in Worlds and Genesis City, with no audience limits on the scene side.

+The chat is read-only, and listens to all messages sent by players inside the scene in Decentraland. This is great to keep in touch with the audience, even if you're streaming from a different device.
