How live speaker streaming works
The live speaker system uses WebRTC for real-time video streaming between the speaker and the event audience:- An approved speaker is scheduled to present
- The speaker starts their WebRTC stream from their browser
- The event manager monitors and controls the live stream from the Live Speakers page
- The presentation is optionally recorded for later access
Both the speaker and viewers need a modern browser with WebRTC support. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all support WebRTC.
Managing the speaker presentation queue
The presentation queue shows all scheduled speaker presentations in order. As the event manager, you control the flow:- View the queue — see all approved speakers and their scheduled presentation order
- Reorder presentations — drag and drop to adjust the presentation order
- Start next speaker — move to the next speaker in the queue
- Remove from queue — remove a speaker if they are no longer available
Viewing the live stream
When a speaker is presenting, the live stream appears on the Live Speakers page. The WebRTC stream provides:- Real-time video and audio from the speaker’s browser
- Low-latency streaming suitable for projecting to event screens
- Stream controls — mute, pause, or end the stream
