How to Run a Camera Test

  • Updated

When setting up a streaming event, you can run a test event to review your camera setup and see how your broadcast event page will look.

For more details on how to create an event with broadcast settings, see our guides How to Create Ticketing & Streaming Single Events in HQ and How to Create Streaming Single Events in HQ.

From the Optional Settings in your Create Event flow, you'll find the Streaming section.
