Livestream is now part of the Events plugin

Yeah nothing yet, though I think maybe some customer themes display events on the front page of the site more prominently? Still plenty of ways we can improve this & events.

Hi Lindsey I haven’t used the livestream feature as yet, is there a breakdown of how to use it on here? Enabling the option in events plugin hasn’t directly shown how to create a live stream from what I see.

We recently made some improvements here, it’s just a toggle on event creation now when you provide a URL for the event location:

Livestream is now an optional toggle on event creation

As part of the ongoing work now that Livestream is now part of the Events plugin, we’re making it simpler to create livestream events. [image] What’s changing You no longer need to tag topics livestream, it’s now an attribute directly on the event. When creating a new event, just supply a URL and a livestream toggle will appear. Toggle it on and you’re done! On creation the video will be embedded and a chat channel will appear. Existing livestream tagged topics will be migrated automaticall…

And we will be making further improvements in future.

@stromfeldt

is it already possible – or might it be possible in the future – for breakout groups to be branched off from a single stream?

Can you please expand on this a bit? Do you mean making more chat channels from a livestream event, or something else?
