How to Change Event Privacy Settings

Open your event and choose Privacy Settings to control guest access and playback.

Who can enter?

• Anyone with the link can watch: share the guest event link.
• Password protected: choose a password and share it privately with guests. Anyone given that password can pass it on.
• Invite only: add guests to the Guest List by email. Only one device per invited email can watch at a time.
• Ask guests for their name and email: collect details before entry for an ordinary link-access event. It's always on for invite-only events.

For a pay-per-view event, this area shows Ticketed event with a Manage tickets button instead of the ordinary access options. Review ticket access there.

Replay and download

• Live only: guests can watch live without replay or rewind. This does not delete the host’s recording.
• Show download link to guests: makes the available download link visible to guests. Keep it off if you do not want to offer guest downloads.
• Hide viewer counter: hides the viewer count on the event page.

Temporarily hide the event

Under Event page, use Hide event page to make the event unavailable to guests, then confirm "Hide the event page? Guests won't be able to open it." For a ticketed event, the confirmation also says that people who bought tickets won't be able to watch the live stream or the replay, and how many people on your guest list will lose access.

While the page is hidden, anyone who opens the event link, an embed, the guestbook or the download page sees The host has hidden this event for now, so guests know their link is right. The video can't be downloaded either, including with Download & View Stats, until you show the page again.

To make it available again, choose Show event page. A ticketed event still needs a ticket, and ticket holders watch again with their own links. Other events get back the access they had if you hid the page during the same visit to Privacy Settings; otherwise they open to Anyone with the link can watch. To open it with a password or for invited guests only, choose that under Who can watch instead. Hiding an event, changing access and deleting a recording are separate actions.

Saving and help

Privacy changes save automatically: Saving… and then Saved appear at the top of the screen. If Couldn't save · Retry appears, check your connection and tap it to try again. Each setting has a ? button that explains it and links to this article.
