Broadcasting with Accelevents Studio
Accelevents offers a built in video platform that allows you and your speakers to create a web conference and broadcast it to an unlimited number of people. If you would like to use our built in video tool simply select Accelevents as the Stream Provider when creating or editing your sessions.
Go to Sessions & Speakers
- Create a Session
- On Session Details, select Accelevents as Stream Provider
- It should generate a studio link
When using the Accelevents Studio, whoever clicks the Start Broadcast button must stay in the Studio for the duration of the session. If that person leaves the Studio then the broadcast will end.
Broadcasting with Other Live Streaming Tools
You can use other live streaming tools such as Zoom, Wistia, Youtube, Vimeo and Facebook Live. To start streaming simply select your stream provider and paste in the last part of your stream URL.
- Go to Sessions & Speakers
- Create a Session
- On Session Details, select a streaming tool (example: Zoom)
- Copy the last part of your Zoom URL to the field below
Example:
Zoom URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/123456789
Paste only this part: 123456789
To get your Zoom ID (last part of the Zoom URL)
- Open your Zoom app
- Click the arrow down on New Meeting
- Hover to the ID number and click Copy ID
- To start streaming click New Meeting
- Make sure your attendees have access to the password meeting in case your meeting is set up with password protection.
If everything is done correctly, you should be able to view the Zoom stream being displayed on your session in the virtual event hub.
Note: When testing your session, make sure that the event time and date is for right now so that you can view the live stream right now.
