No Livestream function in Basic Account

I have a basic account and saw you can do a livestream through Zoom on Facebook, Twitter, etc. I went to my account to set this up under advanced and I did not find this at all. My account doesn't even have an option for it! So where do I find it because I've looked at every setting. Has the basic plan been removed from this?

Hi @ZoomNoob 

 

A Basic account does not have access to Streaming.

 

For Streaming, a Pro or higher account is needed.

Hello All,

I currently have a Basic Zoom a/c, & am aware I need a paid a/c to livestream.

I need to livestream for the 1st time soon, using Zoom & playing the role of host to invite participants to a meeting, during which they'll watch me show them around a physical location, what is termed a "show & tell" assignment. 

I'll be on-site, so my colleague will introduce me to the invited Zoom audience.  I'll then conduct the livestream, & when it's over, I'll exit Zoom while the participants will join different Breakout Rooms for the rest of their meeting.

How do I go about this livestreaming arrangement?

Many thanks in advance for your help.  I'm completely new to livestreaming, but have already assembled a gimbal, mobile, headset & the necessary software to make them work together.
