Day of Livestream with Larix Broadcaster
This guide provides a step-by-step process to ensure a seamless livestreaming experience. From setting up your gear to conducting a livestream test, we've covered it all. Follow these instructions to make your classes a success!
Step 1: Speed Test
- Conduct a speed test to gauge your internet connectivity. This will ensure a smooth livestream.
- If your upload speed is under 10Mbp, we recommend that you decrease your resolution to 1280x720 in the Larix app under the video settings.
Step 2: Prepare Your Streaming Device
- Activate Do Not Disturb mode in device settings.
- Adjust settings for silence, phone calls, and repeated calls.
- Connect your wireless earbuds or wireless mic for optimal audio quality.
- For Wireless Earbuds (e.g., AirPods):
- Insert earbuds before starting the stream.
- For Wireless Mic:
- Ensure adapters are connected and phone is charging.
- For Wireless Earbuds (e.g., AirPods):
- Mount your phone on a tripod in landscape view.
- Plug in a power source to prevent battery drain.
Step 3: Sign In to Union
- Access your dashboard to view upcoming classes.
- 15 minutes before class, the Check-In button changes to "View Stream".
- Open Larix on your phone and click the record button.
- After 15 seconds, camera status changes to "camera active".
- Click "View Stream" to enter the Union Streamboard.
- Mute your feed to prevent feedback.
- Leave your stream running for students to join before class.
