The embedded Watershed Viewer application displays the number of concurrent and total viewers watching a broadcast. To hide the viewer count, you will need to modify the embed code.
Add this flashvar to both your object and embed tags in the Viewer embed code:
&viewcount=false
Here's an example:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540112" width="320" height="260" id="utv430753"><param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=false&brand=embed&cid=12121%2Ftest&locale=en_US&viewcount=false"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="movie" value="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/live/12121/test"/><embed flashvars="autoplay=false&brand=embed&cid=10121%2Ftest&locale=en_US&viewcount=false" width="320" height="260" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="utv430753" name="utv_n_729273" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/live/12121/test" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/></object>
To use Telestream’s Wirecast with Watershed, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1) Set-up your Watershed Brand and Channel.
2) Launch the Web Broadcaster from the Embed Codes page for your Brand and Channel. You won’t encode from the Web Broadcaster, but you will use it to start and stop broadcasts, and to record your stream.
3) Download the Flash Media Encoder XML file to your computer. The Download button for the XML file can be found at the bottom of the Embed Codes page for the relevant Channel.
4) Launch Wirecast.
5) In Wirecast, select Broadcast > Broadcast Settings, and then click the “Open FMLE XML File” button.
6) Configure the Wirecast settings as appropriate for your broadcast.
7) Select Broadcast > Start/Stop Broadcasting > Start All.
9) The Web Broadcaster will detect the presence of FMLE and prompt you to switch to FMLE.
10) Press Start Broadcast on the Web Broadcaster, and the Start Recording. When finished broadcasting, be sure to press Stop Recording and then Save your video.
NOTE: If you do not need to record your broadcast to your Watershed account, you can stream live using Wirecast only without the Web Broadcaster. Simply remove the “offair” text from the stream key (found in the Stream field of the Broadcast Settings dialog box in Wirecast).
