Follow these steps to stream or test your live stream on EventLive using your LiveU Solo unit and RTMP.


How to Test Your Live Stream with RTMP

  2. Select Use RTMP from the options.

Step 3: Get Your RTMP URL and Stream Key

  • After selecting Use RTMP, you will see the RTMP URL and Stream Key displayed on the screen.

  2. Paste the Stream Key into the Stream Key field.

  3. Save your settings.

Step 4: Start Streaming

  1. Start your stream from the LiveU Solo unit.

  2. Go back to the EventLive Broadcaster Console to monitor your stream.


Troubleshooting Tips

  • No Video Appearing on EventLive:
    Double-check that you entered the correct RTMP URL and Stream Key in your LiveU Solo settings.

  • Can’t Find RTMP Info:
    Make sure you are logged in to the EventLive Broadcaster Console and have clicked Test Live > Use RTMP.

  • Testing Before Your Event:
    Use the free test event option as many times as you need before your actual event. This helps ensure your setup works.


Important Notes

  • You can test your RTMP stream for free before purchasing credits or sending out your event link.

  • Each event has its own unique RTMP URL and Stream Key. Always use the details for the specific event you want to stream.

  • If you are using other devices or software (like MEVO or Switcher Studio), the process is similar: just use the EventLive RTMP details as your custom RTMP destination.


Additional Tips

  • EventLive is compatible with most RTMP-enabled devices and software.

  • If you need more help, check out our RTMP streaming guide or contact our support team.

  • Don’t worry if you’re new to this—testing is free and unlimited, so you can practice as much as you need!
