Email UW IT at help@uw.edu to request that Zoom Live Streaming feature be enabled on your UW Zoom account. UW IT will reply with a list of live streaming best practices and you will have to reply with confirmation that you understand and will comply with their best practices. They will let you know once the live streaming feature has been enabled.
Enabling your first live stream may take up to 24 hours. Once enabled, you can live stream instantly.
