Getting Started
Canvas Room
No preparation is required before you go live. You can check which ad campaigns will be available on the Campaigns page.
Direct RTMP Room (Requires Banner Setup)
For Rumble Studio Direct RTMP streams, some preparation is required before you go live:
You must embed the ad banner widget (with QR code and advertiser info) into your stream as a browser overlay in your streaming software
Without this banner visible full-screen during your read, your campaign will be rejected
Live Deliverables -- Approval Requirements
Your read will be accepted only if:
Canvas: Meets script, timing, and delivery rules
Direct RTMP: All Canvas requirements, plus overlay/QR code widget, are embedded, stretched across the screen, and fully visible during the read
All stream types:
Minimum 30 seconds in length (overlay showing if script is short)
Script is read fully, covering all key points, clear with no background noise
The host is on camera performing the read
At least 20 minutes of total content per read
No negative or off-brand remarks before, during, or immediately after the read
For You Campaigns
Some campaigns in the Campaigns page will be labeled as "For You."
These are:
Specifically targeted to your channel and audience
Designed to match your content style or viewer profile
Paid out at a flat rate or per live viewer when you read them live and meet deliverable requirements
Tip: Prioritize these if available --- they are tailored for your channel and provide consistent earnings when approved.
Pre-Recorded Read Uploads
Creators can prepare higher-quality ad reads in advance by pre-recording them and uploading directly to the campaign before going live.
How it works:
Go to the Campaigns page in Rumble Studio
Select a campaign and review the script
Record your ad read in advance --- this allows for optimal lighting, sound, and delivery without the pressure of live timing
Upload your pre-recorded read to the campaign on the campaigns page
When you go live and start that campaign, your pre-recorded ad read will automatically play to your audience
Campaigns that have a video attached will be indicated
Remember to select "control audio via OBS" in the browser source to ensure the audio plays for Direct RTMP
You can delete the video on the campaigns page by clicking on the trash can icon
Benefits:
More polished presentation and delivery
Fewer live performance risks (mistakes, distractions, technical issues)
Ability to add production elements (graphics, cuts, sound) for higher impact
Note: Make sure that you are able to reach the minimum viewership requirements for these reads.
Adding the Ad Banner Widget (Direct RTMP)
Using OBS as an example:
Copy the Banner Widget URL
Click the "Banner" icon in the Ad Campaigns module
Click the square icon to copy the URL
Add a Browser Source
Add a "Browser" source to any scene where you'll do the read (must be a browser source, not screen capture)
Paste the URL
Paste the copied URL
Set height and width to match your canvas at 16:9 ratio (e.g. 2560×1440)
To use pre-recorded videos for reads, select "control audio via OBS"
Enable audio
Check the box for "Control audio via OBS" for pre-recorded video reads
Test the Banner
In Studio, click "Add Test Campaign" to preview
Remove the test banner before going live
Important:
The browser overlay must be at the top of your source list so it's always visible
It must be added to every scene you plan to use during the read
If the QR code and advertiser info is not visible on-screen during the read, and properly sized to fit the screen it will be rejected
Best Practices for a Live Host Read
Be prepared -- Review all available scripts and (if Direct RTMP) test your banner before going live
Engage your audience -- Make it conversational, address viewers directly, and keep your energy consistent
Integrate the banner -- reference the QR code or on-screen link during your pitch
Be authentic -- Share quick, relevant personal stories related to the product/service
Highlight the call to action -- Repeat mid-read and at the end
Match brand tone -- Keep your delivery in line with the advertiser's style
Choose peak moments -- Perform reads when your concurrent viewer count is highest
Mind your setup -- Maintain clear lighting, framing, and audio for a professional impression
Emails - Keep an eye out for Studio emails as they can contain approval/rejection notices, feedback and new "For You" campaigns
While Streaming
When streaming, open the Campaigns menu on the right side of the Studio interface
Campaigns have a minimum live viewership requirement
This minimum viewership limit is for Rumble only (not other destinations such as YouTube)
If you meet or exceed it, you can interact with the campaign
To advertise a campaign, click "Accept & Start."
Select which side of screen to display the ad banner with QR code (left or right)
Performing the Advertisement
The ad script will display in large font on the right side
Deliver the read (with banner enabled if Direct RTMP) or play your pre-recorded version if you uploaded one
Press "Complete" when finished
Each campaign can only be completed once per live stream
