EventLive streams are sometimes not accessible in mainland China without a VPN. Here’s what you need to know and what you can do to help your viewers in China watch your event.
Can Viewers in China Watch EventLive Streams Without a VPN?
In most cases, EventLive streams and event pages are blocked in mainland China.
Viewers in China usually need to use a VPN or proxy to access the livestream.
Sometimes, changes to our hosting or domains may allow access without a VPN, but this is not guaranteed.
How to Check If Your EventLive Stream Is Accessible in China
Create a test event in the EventLive app (no payment info required).
Send the event link to a friend or family member in China.
Ask them to open the link and check if the livestream or event page loads.
If it works, they do not need a VPN. If it does not load, they will need a VPN to watch.
What to Do If the Stream Is Blocked
Ask your viewers in China to use a VPN or proxy service to access the event link.
Most VPNs will allow viewers to watch the stream as usual.
Viewers can use the regular invite link after connecting to a VPN.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the video does not play, or the event page does not load, it is likely blocked.
Try using a different EventLive domain (for example, https://evt.live instead of https://eventlive.pro) and test again.
If you have friends or family in China, ask them to test both domains.
If you find a domain that works, use that link for your viewers in China.
Important Notes
There is currently no guaranteed workaround for viewers in mainland China without a VPN.
EventLive is always looking for solutions, but access can change at any time due to local restrictions.
Hong Kong usually does not have the same restrictions as mainland China.
Additional Tips
If your viewers are using a VPN, the stream will automatically adjust to their internet speed. If their connection is slow, the video quality will lower to help it play smoothly.
You do not need to lower your stream quality for viewers in China; the system will adapt as needed.
If you find a domain or method that works in China, please let us know so we can help other users.
