How to Enable Livestreaming on Your Fundraiser

Interact with donors virtually by adding a Livestream to your next fundraising Experience.

Livestreaming allows you to boost donor engagement during your virtual or hybrid event and delight donors with live entertainment, interactive surveys and trivia, flash auctions, live raffle and sweepstakes drawings, and more.

Enable Livestreaming

1. Select Experiences from the left menu.

2. If you have chosen a list view, click on the Experience title. If you have selected a grid view, click on the Experience image.

3. Click Edit Experience*

4. Scroll down to Select any optional features you'd like to add to your Experience*:

5. Click the toggle next to Livestreaming to enable.

When you click Next at the bottom of the page, a new page in the setup process called Livestream will be added. You will see this in the timeline at the top of the page.

This is where you will set up the specifics of your Livestream.

Set the Date and Time

Go to Livestream in the timeline at the top and scroll down to Select your livestreaming date and time.

Enter the desired date, start and end time of your Livestream.

The date and time that you enter during setup can be edited and won’t prevent you from running a Livestream before or after this time. Donors will be able to see a countdown to your Livestream at the top of your Experience Page:

Good To Know

• You can run a live stream as many times as you like during your fundraiser, regardless of the dates entered.
• Once the date and time posted on your fundraiser page have passed, the countdown timer banner will no longer display.
• We recommend using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox browsers while presenting your livestream.
• Hosts and presenters are unable to join the stage on a mobile or tablet device. They must join via a desktop or laptop computer.
