# Stream

## Getting Started

* To prevent accidents, streaming access is disabled by default.
* You can request streaming access in our [Creator Discord server](https://discord.gg/swPPJN6KTS) or by filling in this [form](https://forms.gle/SqPfoNAtMqaczCgz6)! \
  Leave a DM and our staff will get onto it pronto!
