EventLive allows you to stream your event for up to 24 hours per event link. You can start, stop, and resume your stream as many times as you need within this 24-hour window.


How Long Can I Stream My Event?

  • Each event link allows up to 24 hours of live streaming.

  • The 24-hour period starts when you begin your first live stream for that event.

  • You can stop and restart your stream as many times as you want within the 24 hours.

  • After 24 hours from your initial start time, the event link will no longer accept new streams.


Example

If you start streaming at 3:00 PM on Saturday, you can stream, pause, and resume as needed until 3:00 PM on Sunday. After that, the event link will expire for live streaming.


Streaming Multiple Times During the Event

  • You can pause your stream and go live again within the 24-hour window.

  • All streams will use the same event link, making it easy for your viewers.


Test Event Limitations

  • The test event feature is for practice only.

  • Test events are limited to 40 minutes of streaming and 4 viewers.

  • For your actual event, use your main event link to get the full 24-hour duration.


Important Notes

  • The 24-hour timer starts when you first go live, not when you create the event.

  • You cannot extend the 24-hour window once it has started.

  • If your event is longer than 24 hours, you will need to create a new event link for the next segment.


Troubleshooting Tips

  • If your stream stops after 24 hours, check your start time. You may have reached the event’s time limit.

  • If you need to stream longer, create a new event and share the new link with your viewers.

  • For test streams, remember the 40-minute and 4-viewer limits.


Additional Tips

  • You can use the same event link for all parts of your event within the 24-hour window.

  • For events with multiple sessions (like weddings with several ceremonies), you can pause and resume streaming as needed, as long as you stay within the 24-hour period.
