Almost there! Now we need to know that you want to share the camera with the world and not just yourself. You will be managing the camera(s) here https://my.angelcam.com/dashboard/ and after a successful connection, this is what you will see.

Choose Broadcasting and activate the Free plan.
After successful activation, you will see this screen that allows you to associate the subscription with the camera. Please do that, otherwise, it will not work.
Now you are here. Good job! The green dot next to your camera's name means that the camera is online and the colored broadcasting badge shows that there is a broadcasting add-on activated on the camera. When you click on the badge you will see a lot of options. You can set up offline notifications for your camera for example. Here is how.
The last step before appearing on windy.com is to click on the camera at https://my.angelcam.com/ and update the GPS location for the camera according to this article.
The camera will be published on Windy upon Windy’s team approval - typically it takes two business days. Good job!
Go ahead and explore :)
