Recording: How To End Your Live Stream
Hosts
When you have ended your live stream, please press the End Stream button on your studio. This action will ping our servers that you have completed your live-stream session. *If you close your browser window instead, your live-stream will stay on air, and we will not be able to recognize that you are done.
Guests
When your guest(s) want to end their live stream, please have them press the Leave button located on their studio. By doing so, our servers will be able to recognize that they have completed their live-stream session. *Closing the browser window instead will keep them on air and will not end their livestream.
Your Guest's Experience
- If your guest edits their video or audio settings, their "recording" will stop and a new recording file will start. (See Local Recording for details.)
- Hosts - Local recording is not supported on mobile devices. Please ensure your guests accept your invitation using a computer & Chrome browser.
- Guests - A new recording file will start if your guest is removed off your studio unexpectedly. This is due to an unstable network connection.
- If you are local recording, make sure your guests press the Leave button when they have completed their live-stream. Otherwise, you will not have a download available for them.
- If your live-stream connection is interrupted within the first 10-15 seconds, the recording will not be uploaded due to server requirements. (*For files less than 5Mb.)
If for any reason, you are unable to download your recordings, please email our team at [email protected] with your Broadcast ID, Stream Title, and date of your stream, and we'd be happy to re-upload your broadcast for another download attempt. Thank you.
