EventLive allows you to start, pause, and resume your live stream as many times as you need during the event's 24-hour streaming window, which starts at the event's scheduled start time (you can go live up to 1 hour early; multi-day events get 24 hours per day). There is no separate "End Stream" button.

## How Live Streams Work on EventLive

- You can start and stop (pause) your live stream as many times as you want within 24 hours of the event's scheduled start time. The window does not restart when you stop and go live again.
- There is no option to permanently end or close the stream before the 24-hour window is over.

## Steps to Finish Your Live Stream

1. When your event is over, simply stop / pause broadcasting from your device.
2. The replay of everything streamed up to that point will be available at your event link.

## How to Let Viewers Know the Event is Over

- Before you stop streaming, speak directly to your audience and thank them for joining. Let them know the event is over.
- You can display a sign or message on camera that says "Thank you for watching" or "The event has ended."

## Important Notes

- You can resume streaming at any time within the 24-hour period using the same link.
- There is no way to change the "paused" message to "ended" at this time.

### Accidentally Stopped the Stream

- You can start streaming again at any time within the 24-hour window using the same link.

## Additional Tips

- If you have multiple parts to your event (like a ceremony and a reception), you can pause and resume the stream as needed.
- You do not need to create a new link for each part of your event.
- If you want to make it clear the event is over, use a closing message or thank your viewers before stopping the stream.
