Magento 2 Live Streaming Guide

Magento 2 Live Stream allows an admin to integrate a live stream system into their Magento 2 store.

With the help of this module, the admin can invite multiple influencers and enable them to livestream for any product promotion.

At the same time, the administrator can add multiple streams along with the date and time, and the same user can check influencer profiles and old and upcoming streams.

Similarly, if you want to apply more promotional rules for your store, you can check out our special Magento 2 promotion.

• It enables a live stream from influencers to affiliate customers.
• An influencer can see their pending streams and completed streams.
• Users can check current and upcoming streams on the live streaming screen
• Influencers can download the stream.
• Viewers can send a message to the influencer while the live stream is in progress and vice versa
• Admin and influencer can edit or delete streams
• Influencer can show off their products while streaming in the slider.

Installation is very simple like standard Magento 2 extensions.

#2 Load the folder

Once the zip module is extracted, follow the path src>application and then transfer application folder in Adobe Commerce Cloud root directory on the server as shown below:

#3 Run commands

After loading the module folder, you need to run the following commands in the Magento 2 root directory:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After running the above command, the administrator needs to run the below commands in the terminal.

Install the FFMPEG library on the server also using the commands below.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

sudo apt-get install frei0r-plugins

Once everything is done, run the command below in the terminal.

node server.js > /dev/null &

Make sure the pub/media folder has the appropriate permissions.

You then need to run the command below to re-index and flush.

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento cache:flush

So, for multilingual support, go to Store > Configuration > General > Local Options. Also, select your preferred language from Locality option.

Therefore, a multilingual configuration can be made in this way.

For Magento 2 Live Stream translation, go to the following path in your system src/app/code/Webkul/LiveStream/i18n.
Open the file named en_US.CSV to edit as shown in the image below.

Now transfer it to the track src/app/code/Webkul/LiveStream/i18n where the Magento 2 installation is on the server. The module is translated into the desired language.

The user can edit the CSV as in the image below.

After editing and translating the CSV file, you need to save the translated file name according to your region language and country code, such as – of_OF.CSV.

After that, upload the translated file to the same folder from which you downloaded it. Now your module translation is complete.

Therefore, language translation can be done in this way.
