Can I test for free before buying streaming?
Julia EskinUpdated Yes, you can test your live stream for free on EventLive before your real event. This helps you check your setup and see how everything works. Follow these steps to run a free test with the Start free test button.
How to Start a Free Test
Step 1: Open the EventLive App or Website
- Download and open the EventLive app on your phone
- Or, go to the EventLive Broadcaster Console on your computer
Step 2: Start a Free Test
- Tap or click Start free test
- If you are using EventLive app, you can start the free test right away
- If you are streaming via RTMP, choose RTMP under How would you like to test? to find your test stream key (starts with TEST)
Your free test is created automatically. It streams to your private test link, which you can open and share. Guests on your event link don't see it.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If you see a message asking you to buy the event:
Make sure you clicked Start free test. Regular events require payment, but tests are always free.
Important Notes
- Free tests are for practice and setup checks.
- Your private test link is different from your real event link, so guests on your event link don't see your tests.
- You can test as many times as you need to.
Additional Tips
- You can share your private test link with others to check how the stream looks for viewers.
