The Accelevents Studio

Our Studio is the built-in live streamer of the platform. Once you select this as your stream provider, you can choose whether to use Voxeet or TokBox as your Sub Stream Provider. Click here to learn more about streaming using Voxeet.

TokBox is the default and recommended sub-stream provider with a video-sharing option, and moderators can be hidden while in the studio.

The 2 options have very similar, almost identical features. Below you'll see the differences between Voxeet and TokBox.

Selecting Accelevents Studio as your stream provider will generate a link (studio link) that a speaker will need to access to start a live stream, broadcast a presentation, and record a video. Each session has its unique link that can be used by up to 16 speakers simultaneously.

Once you've set up your session with Accelevents Studio as the stream provider in the Broadcasting tab, you should see the Studio Link. If you still need to create a session, click here to learn how to create one.

Once you access the link, it will ask you to select your microphone and camera, and then join the studio.

To successfully join the Studio, admins, speakers, and invited attendees must allow their web browser access to their microphone and camera.

When they join the Studio without these permissions, the same pop-up as above will show, with an error message saying their browser has not allowed access to their microphone and camera.

Before proceeding, they can enable the permissions by clicking the lock icon on the upper-left of the browser, next to the page URL. Once they allow the permissions, it will ask them to refresh or reload their page.

However, if they do not click the lock icon but proceed with the Save button, they will see another pop-up giving them instructions on where to allow those permissions.

If, at this point, they still have not allowed the permissions, another error message will appear at the top of the Studio live feed area, with instructions on where to allow these permissions.

If you are entering the studio for the first time, you will be prompted to start or skip a brief guided tour of the studio right after setting up your audio and video devices. We highly recommend that speakers new to the studio complete this tour as it will show you how to navigate the studio to engage with attendees, switch between session and backstage chat rooms, and where to start and end the broadcast.

The studio has 3 parts:

The left-side panel menu gives you control over the video and audio output, as well as other components to improve your presentation:

Once you access the Studio, your microphone and camera should be automatically turned on, and you should be able to see your webcam image. It doesn’t mean you’re already broadcasting, though! To start broadcasting for your session, just click the Ready to Start button to start your live streaming. You should see a brief countdown; then, your broadcast should be live.

Before broadcasting, you need to check if your camera and microphone are working:

Speakers and Moderators inside the Studio can update or manage their Accelevents notifications. It's important to disable sound alerts to ensure no distractions during their presentation.

When you click the Participants tab, you'll see a list of people in the Studio. From here, you can mute or turn off their cameras. If you want to unmute or turn on the cameras, you can click on the icon and send a request to the speaker that someone wants to enable it. It will not automatically turn on without their permission.

This is also where you can control whether a speaker will be on stage or off stage by clicking Hide or Show. A speaker on stage will be seen and heard by attendees, given that their camera is turned on and unmuted. A speaker off-stage will not be seen or heard by attendees, regardless of whether their camera or mic is turned on or not.

The live video feed area lets you see yourself on camera and your presentation if you share your screen. On top of that page is the Ready to Start button, which you'll need to click when you're ready to start your session.

Once the session is live, a counter indicating the number of active attendees who have joined the session will appear in the upper left corner of the live video feed. Speakers won't see this counter, as this is visible to event admins only.

The live chat feed area is where you can type in your messages:

To make sure that the shared video can be heard and seen by attendees and other speakers, the speaker sharing the video must disable the hardware acceleration in Google Chrome:

Try sharing the video again in the Studio. Check the box for Share tab audio so everyone can hear the audio in the video.

The On-Stage feature in TokBox is an option for a better program flow while in the studio. This feature allows you to choose who should be live on-screen without turning off the camera and mic of the other speakers who are not supposed to be seen by attendees.

This feature intends to allow session moderators to control who will be seen and heard by the attendees at a particular moment while allowing everyone in the studio to see, still, and hear each other.

Aside from having speakers in the Accelevents Studio, you can invite attendees to join them on stage to be seen and heard by other attendees. You can use this feature for sessions where you want more interaction from attendees besides participating in the chat. Most event organizers use this when they want to feature an attendee who has questions or recognize an attendee for an award.

Make sure that your device and browser work with Accelevents.
