This is a very useful feature. Personally, I feel Panasonic made this entirely too difficult from a user point of view. The manual for the HC-X1500/2000 is trash. It doesn't explain anything. But I am thankful for your video explaining step by step how to stream.

[@precisioncamera]

Anytime :)

[@brianc.mcguire9263]

I'd like to know if you can live stream using an Ethernet connection? All other videos show the live stream method using a wireless connection.

[@OregonCrow]

If your Streaming setting is grayed out, you absolutely have to STREAM in AVCHD. You can change this by going to System > File Format > AVCHD. Cheerio

[@EternalActsProduction]

thanks so much for this!!! I was looking forever trying to figure this problem out!

[@EternalActsProduction]

do you happen to know the answer to this...? each time I press user 5 to put the streaming start option it won't show?

[@OregonCrow]

@@EternalActsProduction Double check all your settings.

[@BoatPatrol]

You are a life saver my man, I would have NEVER figured this out. You deserve 100 likes for this comment, thanks so much. Helping people out over a year after you posted this. You ROCK

[@Jarekthroughthelens]

Great tutorial. One question: Is it possible to set up a live stream using wifi from a mobile phone instead of a PC or laptop?

[@paulbutler1]

Thank you. I had to use the arrow buttons to scroll down, and I found it!

[@jitenderk0107]

I just bought HC-X200 and setting up for live streaming. Came across your video and it is excellent. One question - How do I set up 1920X1080P in record function? I don't see that option in any of the file formats.

[@JustPlaneFit]

goto, menu, then down to system, to rec format then choose 1080p

[@BoatPatrol]

Thanks for this tutorial, very solid instructions. Up and streaming in 10 minutes

[@precisioncamera]

Great to hear. Happy Streaming!

[@RussBearie]

Nicely Done! Thanks...I stumbled at the same step, namely, concatenating [stream URL]/[stream Key] VERY helpful YT video. Direct, to the point, nothing about your personal life.

[@EternalActsProduction]

when I go to network function > streaming this area won't allow me to turn it on... anyone experience this or run into this problem? looking for solutions

[@vytekas]

Hi... in my meniu network function no posible to chose streaming !!! always off. all next option is ok Please help what to do. 1 time i see streaming and when i turn it of , now no posible to make streaming.

[@worldaviation4k]

i'm curious about using the wifi at an airport where you don't need a password but has a login page that the airport has set. How would the camera bypass that.

[@calebmbarrr]

I followed the instructions and when i hit stream vide at the end the arrow has lines for only a moment then it stops flashing, could you please tell me how to correct the issue. Also would you please tell me how to change the recording format to 1080p it is set at 50hz and on streaming mode 1080 is not listed. Thanks!

[@dkoukliatis]

Hello friend! I have the same problem. Did you solve it? I founed something to workoround it but i want to know if there is something i do it wrong. Sorry for my english i'm greek. The way i use the streaming function is the folow. First i setup the resolution and the bitrate i want. Usally 720p 3mbps. Then, because the stream can not keepup, i start decrease the resolution and the bitrate to 1,5 mbps. If it cannot keeup i do the same again. Usally at 0,5 mbps it keepups longer. I may restart it couple of times. After 1 to 2 minutes i have a stable connection. Then i stop streaming and put the resolution back to 720p 3 mbps. By this way it keepup the streaming. It may stop 1 more time in arount 1 minute but after this never stops again!!! Give it a try. Dimitris

[@wandersonhiatt9352]

I have a question but it’s not about streaming. I have the HC-X2000, I use it mainly for real estate videos and the footage it’s always so hazy, I can’t figure out what’s the best settings to film and can’t find information online, their manual is useless. I’m doing it on MOV now because when I try mp4 it turns out trash. Heeeeeelp!!

[@athelstonlashley8820]

Worked perfectly, thanks. Now how do I get this work streaming to OBS?

[@jade-hj1tv]

please let me know if you figured it out

[@ecs1749]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. I've watched a few tutorials for this same topic. I was able to follow this one - not too fast, not too shallow. My stream was up effortlessly. But one thing missing from all the tutorials I've watched: what do I do next? Once I got the stream going, what do I tell my audience where to watch the stream? I try right click on the stream which gives me a URL for that video. Do I have to tell the world that URL? That works exact the URL changes with each each stream and so that couldn't possibly be the answer. So, what do I do?

[@ajtedom5174]

I followed the steps but when I hit user 5 it flashes the streaming icon then stops. Do you know what’s wrong? How can I fix it?

2 questions once you do this set up do you have to go through all these steps again? Second question I attempted to stream to the Yolobox device to Facebook and the video stops after maybe 5 minutes. I’m not recording just streaming so how do I prevent from camera shutting off? Thanks

[@corncrackerdigital5303]

excellent video thank you. Would you consider doing a video on the same camera & functions. There is very little content on KZbin re this camera ...its a great camera but not easy to use and the I find the functions very different to other cameras

[@2phergaming965]

how about zoom meeting is it possible to connect for live? on that panasonic x2000

[@BB-id9iz]

Thanks for your video. I got an issue here with my HC-2000 probably you can help me out. When I'm relaying from the camera to the TV (as overflow) via HDMI connection the live streaming (via wireless) to KZbin stops. And I cannot get it to live stream again (the RELAY Icon stays activated) even after disconnecting the HDMI. My only option is to reset the camera to factory reset. Thereafter is the RELAY Icon deactivated. Thanks in advance as I look forward to hearing from you.

[@erik.landen]

Du you have any stream that was using this setup, i'm curious on how the actual end result looks on KZbin. Preferable with some moving subjects since we are aiming to use this for live stream sports. All videos I can find is on how the setups work, but I want to see the stream :)

[@vitamc2963]

Question does anyone know how to turn off the auto shut off ? I’m currently using the camera for zoom.

Hi my name is Vanessa Scott, I followed and watched your video over 10 times and I followed every instructions and everything seem to be going fine and when I select the user in the user, none of the users gives me a choice that says: start streaming like you show, what you think I have wrong when everything seem okay ...

[@Michael-jp3qe]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@ludstertv]

Streaming is not selectable on my menu. Help!

[@cmcreynolds3743]

I followed this video carefully, over and over to be certain that all the Menu info was exactly as in this video. Most of the time if I press User 5 (streaming start) the streaming icon flashes for less than a minute. However on the KZbin Streaming interface nothing happens except occasionally - 1 out of 10 streams and then KZbin picks up X2000's stream. However, the stream ends less than one minute. This proves that the Cameras Wifi is working; and that the Stream must be configured correctly - on my end. And the whole of what I studied and applied from this video I then get occasional confirmation from KZbin Server Stream interface. Something is connecting though rarely, though unpredictably. And yes I have on several occasions elected to start fresh with Menu by Utility/ Network Initialize. It is time consuming to repeat again what I already did - enter the same exact info that would establish Wifi connection, Streaming abilities and then again prove that I can WiFi, I can Stream, and then what happens is what I already stated - ifif stream if I get a KZbin stream - and it lasts less then I minute.

Have you experienced any hissing issues with the external mic input? I have just received the camera and I noticed when I plugged any mic or any 3.5 cable into the external audio input, there is a constant hissing sound that isn't coming from the mic or cable. It looks like a camera issue and isn't fixable with gain settings.

Your gain might be set too high

[@austinh1750]

On my HC-X2000 I'm able to output 1080p via HDMI, record the same to an SD card, and live stream. The steaming functionality is basically independent of recording. Unfortunately it does look like you can't go beyond 1080p output to either HDMI or SD when streaming -- since the camera must be on a 1080p mode to be able to select streaming (as said in the excellent video). You can though choose different streaming resolutions while keeping the recording resolution the same.
