# What are the 24/7 streaming options available for clients?

There are three different options to set up a 24/7 (linear) stream. Some of them are included in larger packages and some can be ordered as an add-on anytime with a smaller package:

1. With your own playout software/scheduler and ingesting the stream into one of your Media Cloud's LIVE Channels (LIVE Channels are included in all packages). Just copy and paste the Stream Key of the LIVE Channel and the CDN access point into your encoder. Watch how: [https://player.lightcast.com/yUzM5ADN](https://player.lightcast.com/yUzM5ADN)

2. With Lightcast's "**24/7 Schedule & Playout System**". Included in larger packages or available as add-on with smaller packages. More info: [https://help.lightcast.com/how-can-i-migrate-over-content-to-the-24/7-cloud-scheduler-1](https://help.lightcast.com/how-can-i-migrate-over-content-to-the-24/7-cloud-scheduler-1)

3. With Lightcast's "**VOD-to-LIVE**" feature. This is a continuous loop of one of your VOD Channel's playlist. It can be ordered as an add-on with any package. More info:[https://help.lightcast.com/live-streaming#vod-to-live](https://help.lightcast.com/live-streaming#vod-to-live)
