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.

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.

Run of show

How do you prepare a live event stream?

The checklist production crews use, in the order that catches problems early.

  1. 01

    Size the event

    Estimate concurrent viewers and how many rooms will stream at once. Concurrency is a plan limit, so check it against your plan, or request terms for an event shape outside the published bands.

  2. 02

    Create a stream per room

    Create each stream in the dashboard, switch on recording where you want a replay, and, where WebRTC playback has been enabled for your account by arrangement, turn it on for the interactive sessions.

  3. 03

    Build the event page

    Embed each stream on your event page, list your own domains, and put the page behind registration if the event is not public.

  4. 04

    Rehearse on the real network

    Stream from the venue on the venue’s connection at least a day before, and watch on a phone outside the building.

  5. 05

    Go live, then publish the replay

    After the event, the recording is in the project you chose. Publish it on the same page so latecomers land on the replay.

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.
