# Live stream rendering

> How to manually trigger the live stream pop-up.

### Opening the live stream player with Videowise's global helper function

Videowise provides a helper function, available in the global window object, that allows the opening of the live stream player from any page on your website.
The function can be attached to onClick events and receives a single parameter, the live stream ID, which can be copied from the Videowise application.

```js Launch live stream theme={null}
window.videowiseLaunchLive("live-stream-id-here");
```

### Auto-launching the live stream player via URL parameter

You can now automatically open the Videowise live stream player using the `vwLsId` query parameter. When this parameter is present in the page URL and contains a valid live stream ID, the player will launch automatically without requiring any user interaction. This makes it easy to share direct links that trigger live playback on load.

```js Auto-launching theme={null}
https://example.com/?vwLsId=68026acfc5be1a0058e6ce0a
```
