## Show Time

tab besides Show Source is to the left and Orange – if it is and Current
|
||

|
||
1. If it is gray, click on the **Show Source** switch to the right of it and it
|
||
will toggle your show on and you will be broadcasting. *Note: whether auto
|
||
connect is turned on is a station specific setting so it could work either way*
|
||
|
||
## Recording your show

||
|
||
You can record your show under butt by clicking the red circle record button on
|
||

|
||
directory by default.

Everything should now be working and you can broadcast for your entire time
|
||
slot. If you choose to stop streaming before it is over click the white square
|
||
**Stop** button to disconnect. Then go to the LibreTime page and if the Show
|
||
Source didn’t automatically disconnect you can click it to the right and it
|
||
should turn gray.
|
||
|
||
You are now done streaming.

If you have issues connecting check with your system administrator to see if you
|
||
have the details right.
