Creating livestreams

A livestream is a scheduled live session hosted in Tigerhall. It is its own content type.

Livestreams follow the standard creation flow described in Creating content. This page covers what is specific to them.

Scheduling

A livestream is created against a start and end date and time.

Create it far enough in advance that members have time to find it and reserve a place.

How members find it

Livestreams appear as Events in the member Calendar, alongside broadcasts. From there members choose Book a Spot and add the session to their own calendar. Sessions they have booked appear under Booked Events.

On the day

Livestream details cannot be changed on the day of the event, either in Livestream Studio or in the admin sections. Make any edits in advance.

Guest speakers

Guest speakers are added to the livestream to speak during the session. They can start and end the stream.

Livestreams in trails

A scheduled livestream inside a trail is skipped by autoplay, because it has no playable media. The trail advances past it to the next playable piece. See Building trails.
