Tori,
Streaming to multiple destinations (individual session URLs & keys) seems to work well as long as there are not too many sessions. Each session, as a stream destination, increases the bitrate to be sent, and could cause issues sending.
Overall, a great solution. Thanks for your response!

Subject: Can sessions use the same Live stream?
Hi Jamie,
I did a virtual event in 2022 that had a similar scenario, and yes, we were able to use the same feed in multiple sessions. However, most of the time we were doing collaborative sessions, not a livestream, and were not using the Cvent Video Conferencing, but an outside A/V company's Zoom tool.
We did have one pair of sessions that was a live stream and shared a link. We had some issues with it, but I believe it was more related with people trying to log in outside of Attendee Hub (they made that one session open to the public) vs people logging in within the platform. I don't recall there being any issues with the stream link being shared between the two sessions.

Subject: Can sessions use the same Live stream?
We have a block of sessions that need to be live streamed for virtual attendees. The sessions themselves are short, held in the same room, with the same in-person audience, with little to no time between some of them (one session may lead right into another). It's not a good idea for the on-site AV team to switch the feed to a different target URL in this scenario.
Therefore, is it possible for multiple Cvent Sessions to all include a video player showing the same feed?
