# Radio

The Radio tab is where players discover and tune into live stations being broadcast by other players on the server. It also serves as the entry point for whitelisted players to start their own broadcast.

### Going Live

Players who have been added to the Radio Whitelist by an admin see a **Go Live** button in the top-right area of the tab. Clicking it opens the broadcast modal.

#### Broadcast Modal

| Field           | Description                                                                            |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Stream Name** | The name shown on the station card visible to all players.                             |
| **Cover Image** | Optional URL for the station's cover art. A live preview is shown as the URL is typed. |
| **Stream URL**  | The audio source — a YouTube link, a direct stream URL, etc.                           |

**Preview** plays the stream locally so the broadcaster can verify it works before going public. A second click stops the preview.

**Publish Live** registers the station on the server. It appears in the Radio tab for all players immediately. Only one station per player is allowed — publishing again replaces the previous one.
