Projector Setup Instructions

Use these instructions if you are planning on displaying your live stream on a projector or larger screen through another device.

  1. Create a live stream
    Create a live stream if you haven’t already. If you already have an account, sign-in to your account to make a new live stream faster.
  2. Keep your device awake
    Setup your device to stay awake, so that the live stream continues to display during your event. Keeping your device awake for a long period will drain your battery so we recommend to keep charging your device for the duration of the event. The following instructions show you how to disable sleep mode and keep your device awake on different devices:
