You can require your guests to enter their name and email address before they can watch your EventLive livestream. This is helpful if you want to know who attended, follow up with guests, or send reminders.

Steps to Require Name and Email for Guests

  1. Open your event in the EventLive app or Broadcaster console.

  2. Go to your event’s Privacy Settings.

  3. Turn ON the option that says Require all guests to enter their name and e-mail address to watch the live stream.

That’s it! Now, every guest will be asked to enter their name and email before they can access your livestream.

What Happens When This Setting Is On

  • Guests will see a prompt to enter their name and email before they can watch the stream.

  • They do not need to create an account or log in.

  • Guests who want to sign the digital guestbook or participate in chat will also need to enter their name and email.

Important Notes

  • This setting is OFF by default. You must turn it ON if you want to collect guest information.

  • If a guest enters a random name or email, you will see what they entered. There is no way to verify if the information is real.

  • Guests can turn off email reminders with one click if they do not want to receive them.

  • If you want to limit access only to invited guests, use the "invite-only" option instead.

Additional Tips

  • You can test the settings yourself by opening your event link in a private browser window.

  • Collecting emails lets you follow up with guests after the event or send them reminders.
