How to live broadcast through Myriad

In this article, we'll explain how to live broadcast through the different Myriad radio tools to Radio Cult. Let's dive into it!

What is Myriad?

Myriad is a suite radio automation software that's designed to run locally on your machine or up in the cloud. There are a range of different products within the Myriad product suite — like Myriad Cloud, Myriad Anywhere and more.

You'll generally need to connect your Myriad product live to Radio Cult so that your listeners can listen to your content.

Adding your radio station

To add your radio station to Myriad complete the following steps:

1. Login to Myriad Cloud and click on Settings
2. In the Settings section click on Advanced Cloud Settings
3. In the Encoders section, click on the + to add a new encoder
4. You'll see a new encoder appear in your list
5. Grab your radio station's details from your Radio Cult dashboard. You can find your live streaming details in the Connection details panel.
6. Enter these details into Myriad:
   1. Reference: Give this encoder a unique name
