In order to stream exports from Mux to a Pub/Sub topic, you'll need to set up a topic in your Google Cloud account. Mux will write data to the topic as it becomes available. This guide covers the high-level steps required for setup.

## 1. Add a new streaming export

To add a new streaming export, go to **Settings > Streaming Exports** in your Mux dashboard. From that tab, click **New streaming export** to open the configuration modal.

Select the type of data you want to export, the environment you want to send data from, the export format, and select **Google Cloud Pub/Sub** as the service.

## 2. Set up a topic in Google Cloud Pub/Sub

You'll need to complete the following setup in your Google Cloud account before you can create a new streaming export in Mux:

1. *(Optional)* If you want to use a schema with your Pub/Sub topic, you can create one using the Protobuf spec for the data you are exporting, which is available in the [mux-protobuf repository](https://github.com/muxinc/mux-protobuf).
2. Create a Pub/Sub topic. If you're creating a topic with a schema, set the message encoding to **Binary**.
3. Add the Mux service account to the topic as a Principal with the **Pub/Sub Publisher** role. The Mux service account is shown in the configuration modal.

## 3. Finish setup in Mux

In the configuration modal, provide the Pub/Sub topic name. This should be the full topic name, including the project ID, and match the format `projects/{project-id}/topics/{topic-id}`.

Click **Enable export**, and your streaming export will be activated immediately. We will start streaming data as soon as it becomes available.

## Process messages

With your export set up, you can begin consuming incoming messages. For more information on the message format and processing data, see the main [Export raw Mux data](/docs/guides/export-raw-video-view-data) guide.
