Go live

By the time you are in the green room, you and any speakers are already connected. Your camera and mic are already publishing to the room. Going live does not reconnect anyone. It just starts the broadcast.

Click the red Go Livebutton. Only you, the host, see this button. It shows "Connecting..." for a moment while the stream starts.

Once live, a red LIVE badge appears. A running timer shows how long you have been live. You also see a live viewer count next to it.

A small badge reminds you that viewers watch about 11 seconds behind real time. This matters for attendance codes. See How attendance codes work for why.

If the stream fails to start, you stay in the green room. You are still connected and still publishing. Click Go Live again to retry.

Click the pin icon next to any message in the chat panel to hold it at the top of chat for every viewer — handy for a resource link, a housekeeping note, or the answer to a question everyone keeps asking. Only you and your speakers see the pin icon and the Unpinbutton. Attendees see the pinned message at the top of their chat too, with a small × they can use to dismiss it from their own view (it stays pinned for everyone else). Only one message can be pinned at a time, and this works the same way in the green room before you go live.
