This article will guide you through the process of:

  • Enabling HIVE for Skype Meeting Broadcast via your Skype for Business or Office 365 tenant

Before you Begin

Before you can begin, you must have:

Enabling HIVE for Skype Meeting Broadcast

Your company Skype for Business or Office 365 Tenant administrator must execute the Microsoft PowerShell command Set-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration.

If this is your first time enabling both Skype Meeting Broadcast AND Hive Streaming, you will use the following PowerShell command or cmdlet, replacing the highlighted section with the HIVE for Microsoft 365 License key provided via e-mail.

Set-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration -EnableBroadcastMeeting $True -EnableSdnProviderForBroadcastMeeting $True -SdnProviderName hive -SdnLicenseId <replace Hive license here> -SdnApiTemplateUrl “https://api.hivestreaming.com/v1/eventadmin?partner_token={0}”

If you have already enabled Skype Meeting Broadcast - and only need to enable Hive Streaming - use the following PowerShell command or cmdlet:

Set-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration -EnableSdnProviderForBroadcastMeeting $True -SdnProviderName hive -SdnLicenseId <replace Hive license here> -SdnApiTemplateUrl “https://api.hivestreaming.com/v1/eventadmin?partner_token={0}” Set-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration -EnableSdnProviderForBroadcastMeeting $True -SdnProviderName hive -SdnLicenseId <replace Hive license here> -SdnApiTemplateUrl “https://api.hivestreaming.com/v1/eventadmin?partner_token={0}”

NOTE: It can take up to 24 hours for configuration changes to be fully propagated across the system, so be sure to execute these cmdlets well before you plan on running your first HIVE-enabled Skype Meeting Broadcast.

For more information on the Set-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration, please refer to the Microsoft documentation.

NOTE: Events configured before executing the cmdlet will NOT use HIVE.  If you have created events previously with which you would like to use HIVE - you should delete those events and re-create them.

Verifying the Configuration

You can verify your Skype Meeting Broadcast configuration – including the Hive Streaming configuration – with the cmdlet Get-CsBroadcastMeetingConfiguration.
