Sign up and log in. Once you have completed that, you will be given the option to either launch the LiveStream Webcaster, Procaster or Studio. Choose Procaster. You will want this option because the Procaster streams your desktop. The Webcaster and Studio will not stream your desktop.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to know exactly how many frames per second you are receiving, Fraps is a useful application to download. This software will tell you how many frames per second you get in the corner of your screen.
Make sure your computer is capable of streaming live. If you have an old model, then the frame rate will not suffice -- the video will be fuzzy and unpleasant for viewers. If your computer's processor runs at 1.6 gigahertz or higher, you should meet the minimum requirements.
You will need to have a broadband connection, capable of at least 1 megabyte per second -- this is the lowest quality. At this quality, you will get roughly 15 frames per second at the most.
