Stream from your browser

If your event offers This Browser (Beta), you can use it to broadcast from a supported browser without opening the mobile broadcasting app.

On a Mac or a Windows PC, EventLive for Mac or EventLive for Windows is usually the better choice: it switches cameras and microphones while you're live and saves a backup copy on your computer.

Get ready

1. Open your event on the device you will broadcast from.
2. Choose How to Go Live → This Browser (Beta).
3. Allow camera and microphone access, then select the intended devices.
4. Check the preview and audio. Rehearse with a free test before using the real event.

When you can go live

The real event opens for broadcasting 1 hour before its scheduled start and accepts streams until 24 hours after (longer for multi-day events). Before that, This Browser (Beta) shows when Go Live opens and offers Start free test in browser, so you can check your camera and sound without guests seeing it. If the window has passed and you never streamed, change the event date first; it's free.

Sharing a screen

Use the available screen-share control and choose only the screen, window or tab you want viewers to see. Close private content and notifications first. If the browser offers an audio-sharing option, select it when needed and check the sound from another viewing device; screen sharing does not always include system audio.

While broadcasting

Keep the broadcasting tab open and the device awake. Check the live status and use a second device with headphones to monitor the viewer experience. Do not assume a local backup file is being saved.

If the option or a device is unavailable

Check browser permissions and whether another app is using the camera or microphone. If browser streaming is unavailable, use the EventLive mobile app or a compatible RTMP encoder. Contact support with your browser, device and event link if you need help.
