How can I create an event?

In Livescale, a Live video event is called an "Event".

To create an event, log in into your account on the Livescale platform.

Step 1: Create an Event

On the left hand-side of your account homepage, click on "Create an Event". You will be given the option to create a Live or Test event.

• Live Event: This type of event is solely for when you are ready to go Live with your audience. Our recommendation is to ‘Create a Test’ before going Live with your audience. You must have a subscription to create a Live Event.

• Test Event: This type of event is solely for testing purposes. You will not be charged usage fee.

Step 2: Set the Event Title, URL, and Date

1. Title: The title of your event, this will also be used on the browser tab, social media posts, and the homescreen.
2. URL: Choose a short URL slug to describe your event. Note that it may not be modified once the event has been created.
3. Notes: You can add personal internal notes here to remind you about important things on the day of the event.
4. Date & Time: Set the date & time of your event. For your viewers, the date and time will automatically appear according to their browser's location. 
5. Host Access: Linking a host will send them a notification inviting them to the event. To give a user host access you need to add or edit their role. 

Step 3: Design the Event

1. Logo: Choose an icon, ideally your logo to feature as a Favicon. This will be shown in the browser tab.
2. Banner: Choose a banner that is bold and represents your brand. This will be shown on the homescreen and on social media posts.

4. Before Event Description: Write a short description of your event for people visiting the landing page prior to the event.
