if by live stream you mean RTSP compressed stream or similar, then Basler pylon does not give you such direct possibility.

Pylon SDK is meant to be used for Basler's industrial grade cameras that operate with uncompressed image buffers via pylon API (C++, .NET, ect). So pylon gives you access to camera and image data as such and does not do much more.

To address RSTP streaming, with pylon you can generally create a custom worker application that connects and runs camera on the one hand, creates and maintains RTSP stream with use of i.e. FFmpeg/FF on the other, and feeds this stream with incoming image buffers.

Or, if you just want to initialize camera & have live image preview on screen - use pylon Viewer, it has fullscreen function.
