Getting Started

Monetizing your live stream on Rumble Studio Direct RTMP is easy. Some preparation is needed before the stream. You can check which ad campaigns will be available on the Campaigns page.

Adding Add Banner Widget Streaming Software

In order to have your host read ad campaign approved, it is required that you add a widget for the banner (QR code and advertiser info) into your stream by adding it as a browser overlay in your streaming software. The below steps will use OBS as an example.

Step 1: Click the "Banner" icon on the right side of the Ad Campaigns module and click the square icon to copy the URL of the widget

Step 2: Add a "Browser" source to any scene were you will initiate the read (please note: it has to be a browser source, not a screen capture source)

Step 3: Paste the URL you copied for the Ad Banner widget from Studio and make the height and width the exact size of your canvas at 16:9 ratio (typically 2550x1440 pixels)

Step 4: Go back to the Ad Banner widget in Studio and click "Add Test Campaign" to see an example banner display. Do not forgot to hit "Remove Test Campaign" button before you go live!

Please note: The browser overlay widget has to be added as the source on top of the list of all of your other sources so that it always appears on top. It also has to be on every scene so that if you are doing a read and using multiple scenes that it will always appear on stream. Your read will be rejected if the QR code and advertiser information is not displayed on screen during the read.

While Streaming

When streaming, go to the campaigns menu on the right side of the studio interface. You’ll see all campaigns available to your account. Each campaign has a minimum viewership requirement. You can't interact with the campaign if you're below the requirement. If you meet or exceed the requirement, you can interact with it. To advertise a campaign, just press "Accept & Start."

Performing the Advertisement

The advertisement will be displayed in a large font on the right side of the screen. Complete the advertisement, then press "Complete" to return to the Campaigns menu. If you change your mind, you can press "Cancel." Note that you can only complete a campaign once per live stream.

Live Deliverables

Here are some tips for a successful read:

  • Review the script before you go live! Check all available campaigns at Rumble Studio Campaigns.
  • Time your read when you have the most live viewers.
  • You can add to the script, but make sure to cover the key points and tell your audience to click the link in the video description. (Studio will automatically add it).

To be accepted, your read must meet these requirements:

  • The ad banner must be embedded into your stream as a browser overlay widget
  • The ad must be at least 30 seconds long.
  • The script must be read fully.
  • You can include talking points and personal anecdotes, but you must deliver the key points of the script, including the product description and call to action (e.g., “Click the link below,” “Visit the website,” “Call now”).
  • The host must perform the read.
  • The host must be on camera performing the read.
  • The full video must contain at least 10 minutes of content for each read.

Getting Paid

That's it! Your campaign completion will be sent for review automatically. After approval, your funds will be deposited into your Rumble.com balance.
