How to Configure an External Live Broadcast with Translations in vFairs

Learn how to configure External Live Broadcast sessions in vFairs, including enabling the required backend settings, sharing stream details with the AV team, managing live stream configurations, and accessing session recordings after the event—all from a single, centralized workflow.

 

  1. Navigate to the event Backend and go to Agenda & Speakers → Sessions Listing.
  2. Click Settings on the Sessions Listing page and open the Session Types tab.
  3. Enable the External Live Broadcast session type.
  4. Return to the Sessions Listing and click Add Session.
  5. Complete the session creation form and configure the following settings:
    1. Session Type: External Live Broadcast
    2. Stream to vFairs: Enable if only live streaming is required.
    3. Stream to vFairs with Translation: Enable if the session requires live streaming along with audio and text translations.



    Note: When Stream to vFairs with Translation is enabled, select the session's Default Language and configure the additional languages in which translations should be available.
  6. Save the session. Once configured, the session will be ready to stream on the vFairs platform.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Note: For both Stream to vFairs and Stream to vFairs with Translation, click the three-dot (⋮) menu under the Actions column and select the option to retrieve the broadcast credentials. Share these credentials with your A/V team to configure the live stream.
  7. After the session concludes, the recording is automatically processed and made available in the vFairs backend.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Note: If Stream to vFairs with Translation was enabled, the generated recording package includes:
    • MP4 recording
    • SRT subtitle file
    • VTT subtitle file
    These files can be downloaded directly from the backend for post-event use.

The streaming sessions once scheduled, will start showing up on the platform.
