As [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmD3BDoOY4s) ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmD3BDoOY4s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmD3BDoOY4s)) makes it evident, streaming with OBS and Wowza Cloud requires two steps (even after configuration):

1. Click “Start Live Stream” in Wowza Cloud
2. Click “Start streaming” in OBS

Is there any way to consolidate these two steps into one?

Is it possible for Wowza Cloud to start the stream automatically when it gets data from a started OBS stream?
