How do I schedule an event without starting the broadcast?

A scheduled event should exist while streaming remains stopped until you start it.

Before you start

Use a supported event-based connected account and convert the intended time to UTC.

Where to find it

Broadcast event Create New > Schedule live event.

Steps

  1. Review the account, title and audience.
  2. Enable Schedule live event and enter Date and time (UTC).
  3. Choose the scheduling action and verify the event on the provider.
  4. At show time select that event and explicitly choose Start Broadcast.

Check the result

A scheduled event should exist while streaming remains stopped until you start it.

Helpful information

The scheduling option is provider-specific. A created event is not proof of viewer delivery.

If something is wrong

Check time conversion and offered account capabilities; stream-key scheduling may be on the provider website.
