Gradual supports any streaming service or encoder that can output an RTMP stream and Vimeo is a reliable and elevated service; complete with its own studio and the ability to upload and stream pre-loaded or pre-recorded video files directly into Gradual.
Vimeo also allows for simulcasting or sending something to Gradual and to another destination like LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.
Currently, Gradual does not have a native streaming service, so if you are live streaming into an event you will need to connect the event stage(s) to a streaming service to feed the video to the event attendees.

Event Stage(s) URL and Stream Key
The Stream RTMP URL and Stream Key are the two pieces of information you'll need from your event dashboard.
RTMP URL: This will never change for your Gradual account, and is considered the address you're streaming to.
Stream Key: This changes for each stage and is considered the password for the event's specific stage.
Navigate to the Stage Settings tab within the event dashboard, and select 'View' beside the stage you're linking to the streaming service. Have this tab open when setting up the streaming destination.
Note: Gradual does not record your live stream. Luckily, Vimeo will automatically record your session.
