Hi,

normally broadcasting traffic supports is only within subnet or single VLAN. broadcast traffic drops by L3 devices without allowing to move to different networks. if your requirement is only required for 1 VLAN/1 subnet, it is working by default.

if you want to do casting for different networks as well, recommendation is to use multicast within network.

rate this and mark answer if this solved your concern

live streaming - Means you need to Look for Multicast.

Depends on device how you like to do :

example on cisco device :

Possible point of confusion.  Are you using the term "broadcast" meaning you want to actually use network broadcast frames/or packets (generally a very bad idea) or using the term in the sense of providing multiple clients the ability to receive the same video stream (concurrently) w/o sending individual network streams to each client?  (The latter is done using multicast.)
