15 min Delay Broadcast

Hello,
We are using the DGT boards for the first boards of our open tournament (OTB) and we would like to use the 15-min delay of the broadcast.
Is it possible to manage the delay options via lichess broadcast ?
(I don't find any option for the delay in livechess application.)
Thanks in advance for your help !
Isn't delay set in OBS if you stream?

"How to Set Up Stream Delay in OBS Studios. From the File menu, select the “Settings” option. Click “Advanced” on the left side of the pop-up menu. Locate the “Stream Delay” section of the screen, click the enable button, and adjust to the amount of time you want to pass before your viewers see your broadcast."
Thanks! But it's not for stream, we only send the games of 10 first boards online...
I'm sure this problem is solved somewhere before but I have no experience.

How are you sending the live broadcast to lichess broadcasts?
Are you using any software to build the PGNs? What OS?
If on Windows something like this could help maybe:
github.com/jogurtik/dgt-delay-stream

How are you generating the public URL to feed lichess?
Are you using any 3rd party service such as livechesscloud? Maybe they can do the delay for you.
>How are you generating the public URL to feed lichess?
This is really the key question, since ideally you want delay on the PUBLIC url, as anyone might be able to access that (potentially making a delay on lichess pointless). Often the URL is used/given to multiple sites too, if you also want to broadcast on other websites then lichess.

So absolutely, you should have the delay on your end, ideally. That being said, if this is a big tournament or something that is on interest to everyone I think Lichess can assist with adding delay for featured/official broadcasts. (Contact for that is here : lichess.org/broadcast/help )
There is no option to delay the moves in DGT LiveChess, at least in the publicly available version. And I'm not aware of any way to delay it via LiveChessCloud.

So you either have to do this yourself, locally, or rely on a broadcast site to do this for you. The issue with the later is that if the source gets out, published or shared in any way, it would be pretty pointless to delay it on the site.
The safest option is to export to PGN, delay it locally and then push it to the web.
Thank you all !
Yes, we use livechesscloud (but this link is not published publically), so if it's possible to delay the lichess broadcast it seems ok (we don't give the cloud link to other sites) and the easiest way...
Though I don't find any delay option here : lichess.org/broadcast/help
Probably, to export the pgns and delay locally is a solution.
