Does EventLive support 360° livestreaming?
On this page
EventLive supports RTMP streaming, which means you can use many types of cameras and streaming equipment, including some 360° cameras. However, there are important things to know about how 360° video works on EventLive.
How 360° Livestreaming Works on EventLive
- You can stream from a 360° camera to EventLive using RTMP.
- The video will display as a flat, equirectangular image. This means all 360° angles are shown at once, which can look distorted.
- EventLive does not currently support interactive 360° video. Your guests will not be able to pan around the video or look in different directions during the stream.
Streaming from a 360° Camera
If you want to use a 360° camera (like the Insta360 One X2):
- Set up your camera to stream via RTMP.
- Enter your EventLive RTMP stream key and URL into your camera or encoder.
- Start your stream.
Your video will appear on EventLive, but it will show the entire 360° view in one frame.
Important Notes
- Guests will see the whole 360° image at once. They cannot move the view or pan around.
- The video may look stretched or distorted because it is not interactive 360°.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If your video looks distorted, this is normal for 360° video shown as a flat image.
- Make sure your camera is set to output in a format supported by EventLive (RTMP).
- If you have trouble connecting your camera, check your RTMP settings and internet connection.
Additional Tips
- If you want your guests to have an interactive 360° experience (where they can pan around), EventLive does not support this feature at this time.
- For best results, use a standard camera if you want a traditional viewing experience.
