Everything is organized and set up and you want to start your event at the right time. For this purpose, SlideSync offers the Live Producer, where you can view, manage and use all device settings, interactive tools and live data for your event.
To start an event, click on the green Go Live button in the section summary in the overview of your event. This will lead you to the Live Producer.
You can also click Live Producer directly in the left menu of your event.
In the following, you will find the instructions for the Live Producer depending on the event type (Web-, Audio-, and Slidecast). The last section Further Procedure applies to all three event types.
Webcast
If your event is setup as a webcast, you can select and activate your devices (camera, microphone, speakers) in the Device settings (left).
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using SlideSync for the first time, you will probably need to grant the browser access to your camera and microphone. You can find more information in this article.
NEW: You can also blur your background (blur function): To the right of the toggle for turn camera on and off, you will find the toggle for (de)activating the blur function.
Additionally, you can preset the video quality. If you do not select a specific value, the highest possible value is automatically configurated in the live event. You have the choice between 720/540/360p (HD) @25 fps. A higher internet bandwidth is required for the transmission depending on the resolution.
Once you have successfully made all device settings, you can start the conference by clicking on the blue button Join meeting.
Audiocast
If your event is setup as an audiocast, you can select and activate your devices (microphone, speakers) in the Device settings (left).
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using SlideSync for the first time, you will probably need to grant the browser access to your camera and microphone. You can find more information in this article.
Once you have successfully made all device settings, you can start the conference by clicking on the blue button Join meeting.
Slidecast
If your event is setup as a Slidecast, the device settings will be hidden, you only have the possibility to setup your slideshow. Please read the further procedure.
Further Procedure
On the right side in the field Slides (right) you will find your preset slides. If you want to choose another presentation, click Change slide set in the upper tab and choose your file or insert it via Drag and Drop file here.
You can also use this field to control your slides during your live event (web-, audio-, or slidecast) and switch between slides. To do this, either click on the arrows (right and left) in the slide view or click directly on your desired slide below the view.
When you have successfully completed all device settings and your presentation is visible, you can start the conference by clicking on the blue Join meeting button.
Once you have joined the meeting and all the speakers are also online, click the green Start Webcast button in the top left corner.
You are live now and your attendees can follow the event via your public link.
PLEASE NOTE: Please be aware of the 20 second delay during your live event! Your event will be delayed by 20 seconds in the attendee view to ensure a stable transmission due to the buffering of the individual systems.
If you want to finish your event, click on the red Stop button in the upper left corner of the video view.
