Broadcast a Webcast Event to Attendees
To enable attendees to view the event slides and video, you must broadcast it. While in Event Admin/Host view after starting the event, you will notice a yellow bar across the top of the screen that informs you that you are not yet broadcasting.
Functionality that you have enabled for the event aside from slides and video, such as chat, Q&A, and polls will be available to moderators and attendees once you start the event and before you begin broadcasting. The features that are available once an event is started versus broadcasting are noted in the table below.

*To begin broadcasting slides and video to attendees:
1. Navigate to User > Events > Event Name > Start Webcast button > Broadcast button.
2. The Broadcast button will turn to a Pause Broadcast button in the event you need to pause the Webcast.
3. The yellow bar at the top of the screen will turn to the blue broadcasting bar seen below. Attendees are now viewing your event.
 
Tip: You may not record a Webcast until you begin broadcasting the event. However, if you click the Record button before you begin broadcasting, the event will be “set to record” (and the button will reflect this). The Webcast will begin recording immediately upon broadcasting as a result.
