This article is part of the Source-Nexus Gateway User Guide

The Source-Live Gateway is now the Source-Nexus Gateway. This means you have full access to the Source-Nexus Gateway as well as the familiar features of the Source-Live Low latency video broadcast viewer and application.

What does this mean for me? 

• You will still use the Source-Live broadcast desktop application to send your video and audio streams to the client viewer.
• The first time you use the Source-Nexus Gateway, you will be asked to set a passkey. However, it will be overwritten by the Source-Live desktop application the next time you start broadcasting.
• You can use the Source-Nexus Gateway high-quality screen-sharing feature.
• You can use the Source-Nexus Gateway high-quality audio broadcast feature.

What does this mean for my clients? 

• Your clients will go to https://nexus.source-elements.com/<username> to listen to your broadcast.
• Your clients will receive the HD audio stream should you choose to use this separate feature. 

Using the Source-Nexus Gateway with Source-Live as a Host

In order to start a new streaming session:

1. Open the Source-Live application on your Mac or your Windows computer.
2. On Source-Live, select a Source for your stream (image only, input devices, windows, screens or NDI sources).
3. Make sure you adjust your audio settings in the SETTINGS panel.
4. Test out your stream before sending out your broadcast link to your clients. You can do this by following the steps below:
   1. Go to https://nexus.source-elements.com/<username> web browser tab.
   2. Enter your username and click “Join Session”. 
   3. Select your I/O and camera and click “Start Broadcast” when you are ready.

Testing your Source-Live broadcast in the Source-Nexus Gateway

To test out your Source-Live stream as if you were one of your guests, you will need to:

1. Open up a new, separate browser instance - you can also try an incognito session. Since you will be verifying your session as a guest, you will not be restricted.
2. Go to https://nexus.source-elements.com/<username>
3. In “Join Session as a guest”, click “Join Session”.
4. Enter your session passkey and click “Join”.
5. Select your I/O and camera and join the session.
