Can I pause and resume streaming during the event?

You can stream to the same EventLive link as many times as you need within a 24-hour period. Here’s how it works and what you need to know.


How Streaming to the Same Link Works

  • When you start your live stream, a 24-hour window begins.

  • You can pause and restart your stream as many times as you want during this 24-hour period.

  • All streams within this window will use the same event link.

  • Viewers can use the same link to watch any part of your stream or replay.


Step-by-Step: Streaming Multiple Times in 24 Hours

  1. Start your live stream at your chosen time.

  2. If you need to take a break, simply stop or pause your stream.

  3. When you are ready to go live again, start streaming to the same event link.

  4. Repeat as needed, as long as you are within the 24-hour window from when you first started streaming.


Example

  • If you start streaming at 3:00 PM on Friday, you can pause and restart your stream as many times as you want until 3:00 PM on Saturday.

  • After 24 hours from your first stream start time, the link will expire for live streaming.


Important Notes

  • The 24-hour period starts when you begin your first live stream, not when you create the event.

  • You cannot extend the 24-hour window for standard events. If you need to stream for more than 24 hours, you will need to create a new event and link.

  • For special cases (like multi-day events), contact support. Extended streaming is available for an additional fee.


Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you cannot start a new stream to the same link, check if your 24-hour window has ended. If it has, you will need to create a new event.

  • If your viewers cannot access the stream, make sure you are streaming within the original 24-hour window.

  • If you need to stream over several days with the same link, reach out to EventLive support for options.


Additional Tips

  • All video streamed within the 24-hour window will be available for replay at the same link.

  • You can schedule your breaks and restarts as needed, as long as you stay within the 24-hour period.
