How Call in Studio Works / FAQ
I'm looking for an all-in-one solution like Blog Talk Radio, what do I do?
If you're looking for an all-in-one solution for producing a call-in talk show (like the former Blog Talk Radio service), the easiest setup to get you broadcasting is to use:
Zoom Pro: A paid Zoom Pro account allows a phone participant, which will allow Call in Studio to dial into your Zoom meeting. Any co-hosts or pre-scheduled guests can also connect to your Zoom meeting for good quality audio/video, and very little audio engineering is required.
A paid Zoom account also allows you to broadcast your Zoom meeting to YouTube or your streaming service of choice (YouTube/Facebook/Twitch).
Consider investing some time into learning and setting up OBS Studio for better results.
