Live event streaming
A live event streaming platform for events you only get to run once
A launch, a conference keynote or an auction does not get a second take. Stream it to your own event page from the encoder your crew already uses, decide exactly who can watch, and keep a recording for everyone who arrives late.
Keynote, live on your own event page
The basics
What should a live event streaming platform do?
A live event streaming platform takes the feed from your production, delivers it reliably to everyone watching, and puts it on a page you control, with the access rules the event needs. Afterwards it gives you a recording and a report of who watched, so the event keeps working once the stage lights are off.
DynTube does that with the encoder your crew already uses, the same player and embed as your on-demand video, and plan limits stated up front, so you know before the day how many streams you can run at once.
Event types
Which events is it built for?
Four common shapes, and the part of the product each one leans on.
- Conferences
Keynotes and multi-room days
Several rooms at once, and the sessions vanish when the day ends.
One stream per room, each on its own page, recorded into the event’s project for the on-demand library.
Live recording - Launches
Product launches and premieres
A premiere has to start on the second, on every channel.
Schedule the launch film to go live at a set time, so the stream starts on the second without anyone at the desk.
Live scheduling - Webinars
Webinars and customer briefings
The attendees are the point, so the stream cannot be public.
Embed it behind your own registration page, or share a private link you can revoke afterwards.
Live for business - Interactive
Auctions, Q&A and live selling
A bid or a question that lands seconds late changes the outcome.
With WebRTC playback, available by arrangement where enabled for your account, viewers typically see the moment in under a second, with HLS as the fallback.
WebRTC live
On the day
What happens between your production and your audience?
The pipeline on event day, described as far as the product verifies it.
- Your production publishes onceIngest
- Your vision mixer, OBS or hardware encoder publishes to DynTube over RTMP, RTMPS or SRT, using the server URL and stream key from the dashboard.
- Viewers watch on your pagePlayback
- The DynTube player plays HLS across devices, embedded on your event page. Where WebRTC playback has been enabled for your account by arrangement, the stream can also play typically in under a second.
- Your socials at the same timeMultistream
- Send the same broadcast on to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch or any other RTMP or RTMPS destination while it plays on your page. How many destinations you can add depends on your plan.
- Access that matches the eventAccess
- List your own domains so the embed plays only there, place it behind your own registration or login, or share a private link that can be rotated or revoked.
- A replay and a reportAfterwards
- Opt-in recording saves the event into a project you choose where your plan includes it, and live reporting shows sessions, unique and concurrent viewers and watch time.

Questions
Live event streaming questions
Direct answers, within what the product does today.
How many people can watch a live event?
Concurrent viewers are a plan limit rather than a fixed ceiling on the product. The live streaming pricing page shows the published live bands, and an event larger than those bands can be sent as a custom request, with terms confirmed in writing before the day.
Can a live event be private?
Yes. Embed it on a page behind your own registration or login, list your own domains so a copied embed does not play elsewhere, or share a private link you can rotate or revoke. Access controls reduce unwanted viewing; they cannot stop an authorised viewer recording the screen.
How far behind real time will viewers be?
Over HLS, typically several seconds. Where WebRTC playback has been enabled for your account by arrangement, streams with it switched on typically reach viewers in under a second, and fall back to HLS for anyone whose connection cannot hold WebRTC. Test with a clock in shot before an event where timing matters.
Will the event be recorded?
Only if you turn recording on for the stream. It saves into a project you choose where your plan includes recording; it is never automatic. Confirm it is active before an event you cannot repeat.
Rehearse the stream before you rehearse the speech
Start a trial and stream a test from the venue, or talk to us about an event larger than the published live plans.
