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.
• 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.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure you set up your device correctly before starting:
  • Connect Bluetooth mic, open Broadcaster, and start streaming.
• Verify HD Video settings in Larix (1020x720 or 1920x1080 based on studiosupload speed).
• Enable Do Not Disturb mode and adjust Auto-Lock settings.
• Keep all devices charged, or plug them in while streaming.
• Disable Bluetooth on surrounding devices for a seamless connection
