You can test live streaming on EventLive for free before your real event. Test events work just like real events, so you can try most of the features and make sure everything is set up correctly. You can do as many test events as you need.

  • Create an account

  • Tap Test Live button in the app

  • Share the test event link with someone else to see your test stream or copy it and open on another device

  • If you would like to test using RTMP, click the TEST LIVE button in the Broadcaster console and select RTMP for streaming.

You can share the test event link to see how it looks for viewers. The test event link is different from your real event link.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your test link does not show any video:

  • Make sure you tapped Go Live and then the red record button.

  • Make sure your device is connected to the internet

  • If you still have issues, try closing and reopening the app, then start the test again.

Important Notes

  • Test events are always free. You do not need to pay for testing.

  • You can do as many test events as you want.

  • Test events have the same features as real events, but the link is different.

  • Your video is saved on your phone as you stream (if you have enough storage).

  • Test events have a time limit of 40 minutes and 4 viewers
