Media Use of LIVE Streams

Are you a media outlet and want to restream our live broadcasts of lunar and solar eclipses and planetary transits? You can either embed our YouTube stream on your website or restream our raw feed directly.

Redistribution of Live Streams Provided by timeanddate.com

If you wish to restream any of the live feeds provided by us, please send an email to [email protected] including information about:

• Who is restreaming the content?
• How do you plan to use the live footage?
• Do you plan to redistribute the live footage, and to which media outlet(s)?

Most outlets may restream these feeds for free. We may, however, add a charge if you plan to use the live footage for commercial purposes.

Upcoming live events and live streams

YouTube Stream

We also stream our footage on timeanddate.com's YouTube channel. You may embed the YouTube stream on your webpage, provided you credit us and provide a link to our Live Stream page.

Technical Documentation and Information

We will provide login details to our media pages, where you can select which feed to restream at any point during an event. You will also find instructions on how to embed our footage from YouTube, proper crediting, etc. Detailed technical documentation and information on how to re-stream our feeds are also available on these pages. We recommend you take time to get familiar with this well ahead of the event.

Technical Info—Raw Feeds

• To access the raw feeds, you have to contact us for login details.
• We will have an RTMP feed available for each location.
• These raw feeds consist of live footage without captions, credits (logos), or any other content.
• Using any of the raw feeds requires proper crediting timeanddate.com and our streaming partners.
• An m3u8 index file is provided. It contains information about which feeds are available.
• We provide information on the current status of each stream.

No Guarantee

Our ability to provide live footage depends on several factors, including clear skies, reliable internet connections, technical equipment, etc. There is always a risk of technical issues and breakdowns, so we cannot guarantee an uninterrupted stream.

Support

We will provide dummy streams ahead of the event, along with documentation on how to use them. We request you test this well ahead of the day of the event to prevent any surprises.

Please Note: We cannot guarantee any support during the eclipse.
