Is there a method in the Mac SDK to start the broadcast when a webinar is in practice mode?

Thank you

Hi @athome,

Thanks for the post. Could you elaborate on the interface that you are looking for? Do you have a screenshot for this feature in Zoom client UI?

Thanks!

When starting a webinar in “Practice mode” it is not yet broadcast to attendees. At the top of the zoom video window is an alert and button.  
“Practice mode Only: Attendees cannot join until you broadcast”  
Here is a screen grab of the button [http://www.hartsteins.com/broadcastButton.png](http://www.hartsteins.com/broadcastButton.png)

What method in the Mac SDK does this button perform?

Thank you for you help.

Hi @athome,

Thanks for the reply and pardon the late response. Currently we do not have an interface for this.

Thanks!

Can you tell me what method in the SDK this button is calling and from what class?

Thank you
