# Getting Started

## Create an account

First [create an account](https://app.odyssey.stream/profile/create), or [log-in](http://app.odyssey.stream/). If you are creating an account you'll be directed automatically to create an organization. 

You can create an organization without entering any billing info.

## Set up billing

You can upload projects, and explore our example content without entering billing information. When you want to begin streaming you will need to choose a subscription and set up payment on Stripe.

You can add payment info by following this button on your dashboard:
