How To Add a Slideshow or Intro Video to Your Event

You can upload an intro video or a slideshow exported as a video for guests to see before you go live.

1. Create your slideshow in a video editor or presentation tool and export it as a video, such as MP4.
2. Open your event in the app or Broadcaster Console and choose Manage Video.
3. Choose the upload option and select the video. Wait for upload and processing to finish.
4. Open the guest event page to check playback before the event.

Presentation files and a collection of photos do not play automatically as an EventLive slideshow. Export them to a video first. You can separately attach documents or files to the event page.

When you go live

The live stream takes over the event page from the pre-event video. Do not assume a pre-event intro is automatically included in the final livestream recording. You can use Manage Video afterwards to work with the replay; see the video management guide.

Add a slideshow after the event

You can also add a slideshow or intro video to the replay after the livestream has finished. Export your slideshow as a video, open Manage Video, and choose Upload to Beginning to prepend it or Upload to End to append it. Select the video, wait for processing and check the updated replay from the guest event page.

Show slides during the livestream

The EventLive camera app does not insert an uploaded presentation into its live camera feed. You can show a screen to the camera, or use a streaming setup that combines your camera, slides and video before sending the stream to EventLive. OBS Studio is one option. Test both sound and picture before the event.
