How do I Share My Watch Page?
Every channel has a watch page on Cecula Stream. Viewers open it in a browser and watch, with nothing to install.
Your Watch Link
Your watch page's address is https://stream.cecula.com/watch/ followed by your channel's slug. For example, a channel named Luma TV has the watch page https://stream.cecula.com/watch/luma-tv. The link never changes.
You can find it in three places:
- Overview: under Public Watch Link, below the player
- Settings: under Share Link
- Resources: with the Share button at the top
Share the Link
- Click Share next to the link.
- The menu shows the link. Then:
- Copy Link: copies it, ready to paste anywhere.
- Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn or WhatsApp: opens that platform in a new tab, with the link and the message Watch your channel live on Cecula Stream!
What Viewers See
- The player: viewers click play to start. It adjusts the quality to their connection, and viewers can also choose a quality from the player's menu.
- Your channel icon and name: if you haven't added an icon, your poster is used.
- What's on: during a program episode, the program's name and the episode's number and name.
- A description: the episode's synopsis during an episode, otherwise your channel description. With neither, it says No description provided.
- A Share button, so viewers can pass the link on.
- Sign In, for visitors who aren't signed in.
The player shows whatever your channel is airing: a live feed, a scheduled broadcast, a program episode or a playlist. See What Airs When.
To change the icon, poster or description, see How do I Edit My Channel Profile?.
