How to live stream your event?

So, we hear you’re going online?
That’s great news! Let TryBooking help take the stress and uncertainty out of going online for the first time with our tried and tested tips and tricks of how to successfully create and execute online events.
Whether you’re a comedian who can provide people with a much-needed laugh, an actor with a show that must go on or a talented person with a skill to share - why not live-stream an event, workshop or seminar?
Unsure of where to even begin? Let’s start at the very start.
1. What is an online event?
An online event can be anything from live-streamed yoga classes to virtual conferences. The sky is really the limit when it comes to creating online events with TryBooking. You name it, we’ve probably had it. Our friendly Client Success team is always here to talk through any wacky and wonderful events, in fact they encourage it!
2. Who is your audience and how will you reach them?
This is something that can sometimes be easily missed or overlooked in the initial brainstorm of an event. Are your audience tech savvy millennials who are never seen without their phone? Or is your audience an older crowd who haven’t grown up with such technology as YouTube or Facebook? You want to ensure that you have your audience in the forefront of your mind when deciding how they will best be reached and how they will access your online event.
3. Which live-stream platform is best for your event?
Now that you’ve now got your audience in mind, which live-streaming platform is going to be the easiest for them to access? Things to keep in mind are – some live-stream providers charge and others offer free live-streaming. Is it important when doing your research that you have your audience in mind.
Free live-streaming providers include YouTube and Facebook.
Other paid providers include Zoom, Google Hangouts, GoToMeeting and many more.
4. The who, what and where?
The three W’s we love here at TryBooking! Please see below for things to consider.
Who: will host your online event, will it be you? Maybe you’d prefer to have a keynote speaker or guest presenter. Who will be most engaging and interesting presenter for your audience?
What: is it that you’re actually presenting? Is it exciting and engaging? We recommend creating both a run sheet and script to ensure that all content is engaging for those viewing at home
Where: will you record your live-stream? This is a very important point, will you stream at home, the local hall or from your studio? Remembering any outside noises could affect your live-stream. Is your studio on busy road with lots of traffic? This could be picked up on your recording device when streaming your class or workshop and important points could be missed. We always suggest doing a test run by recording yourself in the space that you plan to host your online event from, this will mean there’s no nasty surprise noises or interruptions come event day.
5. How big is your audience?
Live-stream platform chosen you’re almost ready to create your online event with us! How many virtual attendees do you imagine viewing or attending your virtual event? Here at TryBooking we’re big believers in aiming high and are here to help you to reach your online event ticketing goals.
6. How will you share your live-stream link?
TryBooking gives you the ability to sell tickets to your online events, allowing you to input the link to your event and share it with attendees on your event homepage and through emails.

Display the link publicly on event homepage
Instead of having a physical address the livestream direct link for your online event will appear under location on your event homepage. Meaning this link is available to anyone that has access to your event is able to see the livestream link. To set this up, tick the Display this link publicly on the event homepage checkbox when creating your event.

Display link in order confirmation
To send the event link to attendees automatically post-purchase, alongside their receipt, you can add the link to your event on the order confirmation email the attendees receive. This option is perfect if you don't need to add any additional information.
To set this up, tick the Display the link in the order confirmation checkbox when creating your event, or at a later time via Venue on the side menu under Basic Information.

Send e-tickets for this event
When creating an online event, you now have the option to select whether you wish to send your attendees an e-ticket. With most online events customers don’t require an e-ticket. Should you wish to not provide your attendees with an e-ticket to the event, leave the Send e-tickets for this event checkbox unticked.
7. It’s time to create your Online Event with TryBooking
We are thrilled that you have chosen TryBooking to help share your online event! Whether you’re new to TryBooking or have been with us for years our team has worked very hard to make this a simple and stress-free process. It is as simple as ever to create an online event.
