{% hint style="info" %}
You can create a live stream post in the console.

You cannot create a live stream post via Web UIKit but you can view live stream videos using Web UIKit's live stream viewer. Refer to our [Live Stream post](/social-plus-uikit/uikit-3/web/social-uikit/our-components/post-creation-page/livestream-post.md) documentation for details on how to view a live stream post.
