Customize
Now that you've created an event page, its time to customize it. Customizing your event page enables you to add colors, images, schedules, and other personalized content.
Once your page is created, you should see a "Customize your page" button:
You are free to customize as much or as little of your page as you want, but we'll walk you through all the steps.
The customize page is divided into a number sections.
Your control panel is located on the right hand side of your customize page. Whenever you make changes to your page, the "Save Changes" button turns red, and a notice reminding you to save appears. Click the button and your changes will save.
Also on the right hand control panel, you will see a "Preview page" button. This will pop up a preview of your event page. This enables you to see what your page will look like without leaving your customize page.
Next is the "Start broadcast" button. Clicking this will launch your broadcast window. Go here to read our broadcasting guide.
Finally, there is a "Go to my page" button which takes you to your event page.
In the Page info section, you can change your page's title, add a page description, view your page address, and set a page password
Enter a password to keep your event page private. Only people who you choose to share your password with can view your event page. If you choose to not enter a password, anyone who has your page address will be able to visit your page.
Make a broadcast schedule so your viewers will know when you will be streaming. You are not bound to the times on the schedule, but it helps to let viewers know when to tune in.
Simply enter a name for your broadcast, enter the approximate date and time, and click "Add broadcast". If your plans change, just click "Delete from schedule" to remove any scheduled broadcast.
