When you order a ticket for an online event, you will gain access to the Watch Stream page of the event.
If your event will be hosted on Peatix Live, the Watch Stream page will include embedded streaming of the event and you will be able to watch the stream there. There will also be the "Event instructions from the organizer" about joining the event and a FAQ section that answers some of the questions you may have while viewing the stream. A live chat will also be embedded if the organizer has enabled the chat function for the event.
| We suggest that you update to the latest version of your browser and operating system for an optimal viewing experience before the Peatix Live event starts. Please check the recommended specifications for viewing Peatix Live events. |

How to use the Peatix Live player on the Watch Stream page
To change the settings of the Peatix Live player, go to the menu bar at the bottom.
① Play/pause button
To start viewing a stream, click the Play button (a triangle icon ▶). To pause the stream, click the “II” button.
② Volume button
By default, the sound is turned on. To mute the sound, click the Volume button. To unmute, click the button again.
When you place a cursor over the Volume button, a volume slider appears on the right. Drag the slider to adjust the sound volume.
③ Quality selector
To select desired video quality, use the Quality selector feature. By default, the video quality is set to “auto”, which automatically adjusts the quality based on the speed of your internet connection. We recommend that you try reducing the stream quality if you face video issues (e.g., the video freezes or lags) while viewing a Peatix Live event.
* Please note that the Quality selector is only available in certain desktop browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, and is not available in Safari and most mobile browsers.
* Quality selector is only displayed during live streaming. It is not displayed for archived streams.
④ Picture-in-picture button
The picture-in-picture feature allows you to watch a Peatix Live broadcast in a small window placed in a corner of the screen while you visit other websites or perform other tasks on your computer.
To use this feature, click the Picture-in-picture button. If you wish to stop using the picture-in-picture feature and resume watching the broadcast on the Peatix Live player on the Watch Stream page, click the button again. You can also stop using the feature by moving the cursor over the picture-in-picture screen and clicking the “x” button that appears on the upper right corner of the screen.
⑤ Full-screen button
Click this button if you wish to view a Peatix Live broadcast full screen instead of on the Peatix Live player on the Watch Stream page. To end the full-screen mode, click the button again or hit the Escape (Esc) key.
