Restream allows you to start streaming to an event anytime, but each platform has its own rules. Follow these guidelines to ensure your broadcast starts and runs smoothly.


LinkedIn

  • You cannot go live more than 15 minutes early.

  • You cannot go live more than 2 hours late.

If you don’t go live within this time period, the event post on LinkedIn will show that your stream is cancelled.


YouTube

YouTube allows you to start streaming to your scheduled event at any time, with no restrictions on starting early or late.


Facebook

Facebook is also flexible with start times; you can start streaming to your scheduled events as early or as late as you want.

💡 Scheduling events and notifying your audience in advance increases the number of people who tune in live.
