How to broadcast your Zoom meeting to everyone (no 40-minute limit for listeners)

Tutorial · Updated

On any Zoom plan: join on a computer, open your AltarPage studio, tap "Zoom or Meet", tick "Bring the meeting's sound into the broadcast", go live and share the Zoom tab (or, with the Zoom app on Windows, the entire screen with system audio). On Zoom Pro you can instead stream from Zoom with a stream key. Listeners get no 40-minute limit, no 100-person cap and about 22 MB an hour.

Step by step

  1. Join the meeting on a computer. Join from your browser, or with the Zoom app on Windows. Wear headphones.
  2. Open your studio. In another tab, open yoursite.altarpage.com/admin/cast (Admin → Go live).
  3. Bring in the meeting. Tap Zoom or Meet and tick Bring the meeting's sound into the broadcast.
  4. Go live and share. Tap Go live. In the browser, choose the Zoom tab with Share tab audio on; with the Zoom app on Windows, choose Entire screen and turn on Share system audio. Tap Share, then allow the microphone. You don't need Zoom's own Share screen.
  5. Balance the sound. Use the Meeting and My microphone sliders. Your own voice comes from your microphone.
  6. Share your link, then End. Send your listeners' link on WhatsApp. When the meeting ends, tap End: the replay is on the same link within minutes.

On Zoom Pro: stream straight from Zoom

Zoom Pro and higher can stream to AltarPage itself, so no computer needs to share its sound. In your studio, open From Zoom, OBS or a video mixer and tap Get a stream key. In Zoom's web settings, turn on Allow livestreaming of meetings with Custom Live Streaming Service. In the meeting, choose More → Live on Custom Live Streaming Service and paste the server, key and page. The broadcast starts by itself when the stream arrives. Full steps: stream from Zoom, OBS or a mixer.

On a Mac with the Zoom app

Browsers on a Mac can only share a tab's sound, so join the meeting from your browser instead, or use Zoom's live stream on Zoom Pro. AltarPage Studio for Mac may bring in the computer's sound on newer macOS versions.

From a phone

Phones don't let one app record another app's call. Use Zoom's live stream (if your Zoom app shows Live on Custom Live Streaming Service under More), or join on one phone and connect its headphone output to the broadcasting phone with an audio cable or USB adapter.

Why broadcast a Zoom meeting?

Free Zoom meetings end after 40 minutes, calls hold 100 people, and video uses a lot of data. See Zoom's 40-minute limit.
