Make Fundraising Even MORE Fun

 

Join the Campus Walk Stream Team! It is so easy, and it isn't just for gamers!

Live Fundraising is a great way to tell your story, engage with donors, and create a richer connection to the mission!

Great, how do I get started?

  1. You'll need a device to stream with (smartphone, desktop/laptop, Xbox, or PlayStation 4)
     
  2. Download a streaming app to your phone (Streamlabs, Twitch, YouTube, or Mixer Create) or software to your desktop (like Streamlabs, OBS, or XSplit)
     
  3. Set up an account with a streaming service (Twitch, YouTube, Mixer)
     
  4. Add your streaming username to your fundraising page & save – you're ready to go! 
    • Click Your Page in the top bar
    • Click the Settings tab on your page
    • Choose your service and enter your username
      • Note: YouTube requires you to enter the full URL to the live video, not your YouTube username
    • Click Save Changes
       
  5. Share the link to your fundraising page on social media channels, text messages, and email to let people know when to tune in
