FAQ
What do I need?
In addition to WordPress site, you need to sign-up at Ustream.tv and start live casting.
How do I sign up for Ustream?

I don’t have any images for offline/online images
You need to make your own images. I may make preset later if you ask me so.
I’m live. But my status won’t change.
First, wait for 60 seconds. Ustream Status uses cache. It only checks the live/offline status once every 60 seconds.
If you don’t see the change os status after 60 seconds you become live, you may have misspelled your Ustream ID, your WordPress site may be having hard time reaching Ustream Server, or your IP may be blocked from Ustream Server.
How can I check if Ustream server is working or not?
If you’re still having problem getting the status, you can think of the following situation
- You mistyped your Ustream channel
- You mistyped the wrong URL of images
- Ustream Server may be having some problem.
- Your WordPress server may be blocked from Ustream Server
