Test the CareerFairy Streaming App

Accepted Answer

Organise a successful test with your co-hosts

One of the essential preparation steps for your event is the technical check with all the co-hosts who will take part in your live stream.

The goal is to ensure that all the co-hosts can connect smoothly, can broadcast their audio/video effectively and that, ultimately, all participants can see and hear each other well in the streaming room. Furthermore, you want to make sure that any sharing activity you want to perform such as screen sharing or presentation upload function well.

Follow the following steps to do a successful technical check:

Get a link to a streaming test room.
Decide on a time slot to perform the test run with all co-hosts.
Share the link with all the co-hosts who will take part in the live stream.

If you are about to host a career live stream and want to know how to get ready, you are in the right place!

First things first

Before we start with the details, I wanted to personally thank you for deciding to begin your journey into career streaming.

The reason myself and Thomas started working on CareerFairy was to give the next generation of students a complete and authentic view into the reality of their job market, allowing them to make more informed career choices that puts their happiness first.

By hosting a career live stream, you are not only giving your company’s employer brand a major boost, you are also helping graduates truly understand whether or not the roles that you offer match their personal abilities and expectations. If, after your event, they decide to research your career opportunities further and ultimately apply to one of your open positions, you can rest assured that they will do so knowing that the package that your organisations offers will fulfill them on the job.

What is a career live stream?

Sharing a video on CareerFairy

It is simpler than you thought!

If you want to share a video during your live stream on CareerFairy, this article may contain some useful information for you to do this successfully on the day of your event. In any case, please test the video sharing before your live stream to ensure that all technical requirements are met.

Let us introduce a few options you have for video sharing:

Share a video through YouTube:

YouTube is the premier video sharing platform in the world. If the video you want to share is available on YouTube. Please use the “Share video” in your in-stream sharing options. This will prompt you to enter the video link into the dialog to start sharing the video. Once you start sharing, all co-hosts and viewers will see the same video. All actions you perform on the video (play/pause, move on the timeline,…) will be mirrored for all viewers. This is the simplest and preferred option for video sharing, which we always recommend if the video in question is available on YouTube.

Share a video through Screen Sharing:

If your video is not available on YouTube but either on a different online player or as a local file, you can share it directly via Screen Sharing. To do this effectively while ensuring good video playback quality for you and all other participants, follow this process:

Select Share => Screen Sharing in the CareerFairy streaming app.

In the following dialog, select Video as you sharing option. T

Question 6

How to use the CareerFairy Streaming App

Accepted Answer

The CareerFairy streaming platform is a simple and intuitive app that will look familiar to most users who have ever interacted with a videoconferencing software. However, even if we do use analogies with videoconferencing apps such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Skype, don’t forget that during the event, you will not see your audience (unless any participants use the hand raise feature, we’ll get to that later).

Get connected and select your microphone and camera

When initially opening the streaming app, an initial process will run which will attempt to establish a connection with the streaming server. Once the connection is established, you will be requested to select your camera and microphone. Don’t forget to make sure that you authorise careerfairy.io to access your camera and microphone if it is the first time that you use the app. In the camera/microphone dialog, make sure that the correct camera has been preselected by checking the preview video and making sure that the right microphone is in use. Make sure that your selected microphone detects sound by checking whether the green dot indicator moves as you speak.

If everything looks good, press the Join as Streamer button.

|| If you are a non-streaming co-host, such as an organiser, a technical support specialist or an HR expert answering Q&A questions in written format, you have the option to join the stream without publishing audio/video by clicking the I am only watching button.
