What is education live streaming?

Education live streaming means broadcasting classes, lectures, tutorials, and courses as a one-to-many video stream instead of a video call. Students watch in a browser on any device, on your website, inside your LMS, or on YouTube, with no app installs, no meeting invites, and no class-size caps.

The stream doesn't have to be live from a camera. With Livepush, you can upload recorded lessons, arrange them in playlists with intro and outro videos, and schedule weeks of classes that broadcast as live at fixed times, the exact model BYJU'S and similar edtech companies have used to publish recorded videos as live streams.

Camera or recorded lectures
Your website LMS YouTube 40+ platforms
No class-size limits
Meeting tools cap attendees; a stream doesn't. The same lecture serves 30 students or 30,000 with no per-student fees.
Runs from recorded videos
Record once under ideal conditions, then broadcast on a timetable. No re-teaching the same lesson, no 7 a.m. "go live" duty.
Students just click a link
Classes play in the browser on the course page students already use, with live chat beside the player. No installs, no plugins, no dial-ins.

Playlist streaming: intro, lecture, and outro as one live broadcast

Queue multiple videos into a single continuous stream. Open with a branded intro and today's announcements, roll the main lecture, follow with practice questions, and close with an outro that previews the next class. Students see one seamless live session, never a gap between files.

  • Chain intro, main content, and outro videos into one uninterrupted broadcast
  • Reorder, add, or swap lessons in the queue before the class airs
  • Loop playlists to run a 24/7 revision channel between scheduled classes. See streaming MP4 videos

Record once, schedule weeks of live classes

Upload recorded lessons and build a broadcast timetable that runs itself, up to weeks of content scheduled in advance. Each class airs as live at its set time, cohorts watch together, and nobody on your team has to press "go live" at 7 a.m. It's how edtech companies like BYJU'S have published recorded videos as live streams at scale.

  • Schedule up to weeks of classes in one sitting, daily lectures, weekend batches, revision replays
  • Recurring weekly classes air automatically, and time-zone scheduling covers every cohort
  • Mix formats: pre-recorded lecture, then cut to a live Q&A. See pre-recorded live scheduling

A live chat widget that keeps students in the class

A lecture without questions is a video. Drop the Livepush chat widget next to the embedded player on your course site and students ask, answer, and react in real time while the lesson plays, even when the "live" class is a scheduled recording.

  • Embeddable chat widget sits beside the player on your website or LMS
  • Teachers and TAs moderate: answer questions, pin messages, remove noise
  • Interaction stays on your domain, not a third-party platform. See live stream chat

Know exactly how many students showed up

Take attendance without a register. Real-time monitoring shows the live student headcount during every session, and saved stream reports keep the history, peak viewers, watch time, and per-class numbers you can put next to enrollment and completion data.

  • Live headcount of concurrent students during every class. See real-time monitoring
  • Per-session reports: peak viewers, watch time, and stream duration. See saved stream reports
  • Compare sessions to spot which subjects, times, and teachers pull attendance

Embed in your LMS, keep paid courses paid

Classes belong on your course pages, not on someone else's platform. Embed the ad-free player in Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, WordPress, or Teachable with a copy-paste snippet, then lock playback down so only enrolled students get in.

  • Iframe embed for any LMS or course site, or the direct HLS .m3u8 URL for your own player or app
  • Domain allowlists restrict playback to your course site only
  • Passwords and tokenized time-limited URLs stop paid class links from leaking

Laptop, phone, tablet, classroom screen

Students watch wherever they are: the class's adaptive HLS stream plays natively in browsers, on phones and tablets, and on the Smart TVs in classrooms and study halls. Quality adjusts per viewer automatically, from campus Wi-Fi to a phone on mobile data.

  • One .m3u8 URL covers web, iOS, Android, Smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV
  • Adaptive bitrate: each student's player picks the best quality for their connection
  • Late joiners rewind the live class with built-in DVR; recordings land in your dashboard for the on-demand library

Education Streaming:
Questions Educators Ask

Everything about streaming classes, lectures, and courses. More questions? Visit the Help Center.

How do I live stream a class or lecture online?
Create a Livepush account, then either go live from a webcam or encoder like OBS, or upload recorded lectures and schedule them to broadcast as live. Students watch in a browser on any device, on your website, your LMS, or YouTube, with no app installs and no class-size caps. Most educators run their first test class within an hour of signing up.
Can I stream pre-recorded lectures as if they were live?
Yes. Upload MP4/MOV recordings and schedule them to play out as live broadcasts (often called simulated live or simulive streaming). Record lectures once under ideal conditions, then air them on a fixed timetable so cohorts watch together. Edtech companies like BYJU'S and similar academies have used Livepush to publish recorded lessons as live streams. See pre-recorded live scheduling.
Can I build a class playlist with intro, lecture, and outro videos?
Yes. Queue multiple videos into a single continuous broadcast: a branded intro with announcements, the main lecture, practice questions, and an outro pointing to the next class. The playlist streams as one seamless live session, so students never see a gap between files.
How far in advance can I schedule classes?
Up to weeks of content in advance. Build a full timetable of scheduled broadcasts, recurring weekly classes, revision replays, and multi-subject lineups, and Livepush airs each one automatically at its set time. Set up a semester's worth of sessions in one sitting; no one has to press "go live" at 7 a.m.
Can I restream classes to YouTube and my website at the same time?
Yes. One broadcast, live or from recorded video, plays simultaneously in the ad-free player embedded on your website or LMS and on YouTube, Facebook, and 40+ other platforms, plus any custom RTMP destination. See multistreaming.
How do students interact during a live class?
Add the Livepush live chat widget next to the embedded player on your site. Students ask questions, react, and discuss in real time while the lecture plays, and moderators can manage the room. Because chat lives on your page, the interaction stays on your website instead of a third-party platform.
Can I track how many students attended a class?
Yes. Real-time analytics show the live student headcount during every session, and saved stream reports record peak concurrent viewers, watch time, and session history, so you can verify attendance per class, compare sessions, and spot where engagement drops.
Can I embed the live class in my LMS or course website?
Yes. Copy-paste an iframe snippet into Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, WordPress, Teachable, or any course portal. You can also use the direct HLS (.m3u8) URL in your own player or mobile app for full control over the viewing experience.
Can I make classes private so only enrolled students can watch?
Yes. Protect streams with passwords, restrict playback to your course site's domain with an allowlist, issue tokenized time-limited URLs that can't be shared outside the class, and geo-restrict playback where licensing requires it. Paid course content stays behind your paywall.
How much does education live streaming cost?
You can start free with 20 streaming hours per month and no credit card. Hosting classes on your own site with the ad-free player, playlist and scheduling tools, access controls, and 1 TB of monthly bandwidth starts at $49/month. There are no per-student or per-class fees. See live hosting plans for details.
