Webinar - Configuring your Live Stream

This article teaches you how to choose the settings for your Webinar Live stream, this implies what the participants will see when they are connected during the live event.

Setting up your Webinars

To set up your webinars, navigate to Webinar > Live Stream > Set up.

The Set up tab provides the configuration options for your webinar. Here, you can customize settings such as renaming your webinar, adding translations, selecting a room video mode, assigning a room host, and more.

Choosing your Room Video Mode

By default, your room video mode will be set to Live Studio. However, you have the option to change it if needed. Other room video mode options are:

• Pre Recorded Video
• RTMP Streaming
• External Link

For further information, refer to our article on video modes.

Configuring room video latency

Even though the Live Studio will allow speakers to interact with users, they will experience latency in the Live preview, as is standard with live streaming technology.

Currently, we offer Mux and AWS IVS as the video provider, each with different latency options:

• Standard latency: 20-30 seconds (available with Mux).
• Low latency: 10-15 seconds (available with Mux and AWS IVS).

Enabling dial-in

The dial-in feature allows speakers to join the webinar online from their phones. This option is useful for speakers do not have access to microphone and speakers, computers, or the internet at the moment of the session. For more information, refer to our SIP Dial-in: joining the event by phone article.

Setting a room host

You can select who will be the host of the room. The host will need to be in the room to start the Live Studio stream and ensure that the session is being recorded. The host can be anyone from your attendee list.

Room recording

InEvent allows you to download any type of live broadcasting you created and use it to promote your webinars. Tick the checkbox to enable room recording.

Setting the maximum number of presenters

All administrators when entering a session can enable the camera and microphone, if you want to define the maximum number of administrators who will have that access in that room, enter the amount in the Maximum number of presenters in the room field.

Speech to text transcription

By using our Speech to text transcription feature, you’ll be combining both speech recognition and live translation, which means your online events will now have real-time subtitles during your sessions.
