Templates make setting up an event easier by automatically filling in key details. Learn how to create a live event using a pre-existing template from this page, or skip the template and schedule a live event directly.

Create a live event from a template

1. Navigate to Live Streaming > Event templates. This opens the list view displaying all scheduled, running, or expired events.

2. Click Create live event. 

3. The fields will automatically populate based on your chosen template. If the fields aren't pre-filled, you can manually configure them at this stage.

Additional fields

• Start date: This is the day based on your local machine’s clock.
• Start time: This is the event start time that you will advertise to your viewers. On the channel’s live event page, your stream will display this time and date.

• Time zone: This will default to your local machine’s time zone. You can change it if necessary.

  Duration: This is the expected duration of your live stream. It is used for scheduling and reserves the channel and live source for this amount of time beginning at the start time of your event.

  Note that the event will continue even after the scheduled duration ends, therefore you must stop the stream manually.

• Restricted access: If you require viewers to enter an access code, you can enable the "Require an access code to view the stream" option. Learn more.

Once you finish up your settings and select Create live event, you’ll be redirected to the created Event in the Schedule events section.
