Everything should no 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.

automatically disconnect you can click it to the right and it should
|
||
turn gray.
|
||
|
||
You are now done streaming.
