One-Way Streaming: What to Expect
EventLive is a one-way live streaming platform. This means:
Guests can watch your broadcast, but you cannot see or hear your guests.
Guests cannot see or hear each other during the stream.
The experience is similar to watching a TV broadcast, not a video call like Zoom.
How Guests Can Interact: The Real-Time Guestbook
EventLive offers a real-time guestbook for interaction during your event. Here’s how it works:
Guests can leave messages in the guestbook as the event is happening.
Messages appear in real time for everyone to see.
Guests can also upload photos to the guestbook.
After the event, you can download a PDF with all the messages and photos.
Important Notes
Guests do not need to log in or create an account to watch or use the guestbook. They just click the link and join.
The guestbook is the main way for guests to interact during the stream.
There is no option for guests to speak, appear on video, or be unmuted during the stream.
If you want to feature remote speeches or additional speakers, only the host/broadcaster can be on the stream. Guests cannot join the broadcast with video or audio.
Troubleshooting Tips
If guests cannot see the guestbook, remind them to scroll down the event page.
If messages are not appearing, refresh the page or check your internet connection.
If a guest cannot upload a photo, make sure the file size is not too large and the internet connection is stable.
Additional Tips
You can run a free test event to try out the guestbook and streaming features before your real event.
After your event, download the guestbook PDF to keep all the messages and photos as a memory.
