2 How about we customize your channel to match your brand, so it s more like this? You may be wondering, Do I have to upgrade to a paid Livestream account to have a custom design?

The intention of this short and sweet report is to walk you through exactly what you need to do to make your Livestream channel look gorgeous. Ready? Let s do it!

3 Areas You Can Customize You will need: 1. Your logo. Size: 300 x 300 pixels Format: GIF, JPG or PNG Maximum file size: 500 k 2. A banner image. This can match the banner of your website or be customized for your specific Livestream channel (for example, if you re
