Pre-Show Testing
In vyb, we provide tools to allow you to test all of your audio and video setups.
For deeper technical specifications, visit Video Streaming Technical Details
To perform testing, do the following:
Navigate to the event in your dashboard.
From the Action Menu select “Go To Event”
“Make Test Recording” allows you to record 30 seconds of audio and video, which will be sent to vyb’s servers and then available for playback.
“Test Event” allows you to send a link to multiple people before the event, and they can listen/watch the current feed.
When you select Test Event, you will be offered the type of stream. You can use Webcam for your built in webcam or a direct USB connection from external connection like an ATEM MINI. For higher quality, select Streaming Software.
When you select Streaming Software, you will be given the Stream Settings.
Copy and paste those stream settings into OBS or any other streaming HW/SW.
For Security, every time you start streaming, you will need to get a new key. The server will not change.
Testing is available until 15 minutes before the events starts.
Running the Show
To run the show, 15 minutes before the show starts, the “Start Event” button will go active. Once pressed, you will get the same choice to pick the type of stream.
Just as in testing above, if you are using stream settings, copy and paste the new stream key as you start the stream.
You will start the stream in vyb and then use Start Streaming in OBS or other HW.
