Creating a virtual event on Cya Live is easy! Whether you want to watch a video with friends, host a yoga session, have a cook-off, or just spend the night chatting away, Cya Live is the perfect one-stop platform for all your needs. With the lowest latency on the web, you can connect with others with no interruptions and share the moments in real-time. Once you’ve created a free account on cya.live, follow this guide to create your first virtual event.
From the homepage, click on the camera icon located in the top right corner of the page. You should see your profile picture to the right if you have successfully created an account and logged in.
Click on the event button to get started.
If you’re looking to create a room, which is instant and more user friendly, click here.
An “Event” allows you to create a virtual event right away or for a specific date and time. Events include more features than rooms, including type of content available, customization, and security measures. Events are perfect for larger audiences. You can customize your event with these settings:
• Public or private
• Free or paid
• Number of tickets available
• Number of moderators
• Content to be used during the event
Unlike a room, you can also share your screen and work on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides in real-time.
Choose this option if you are hosting a class, a seminar, or a watch party with many attendees. An event allows you to plan content and invite users in advance.
Events feature additional security measures to ensure your event goes smoothly with no interruptions. You can mute or kick users and even have the option of interviewing attendees privately before allowing them to go on stage. This is to ensure that everyone’s microphone and video quality are up to your standards.
There are 4 mini-steps to go through when creating an event. You can also skip any step with the “Skip” button at the bottom of the page.
1. General Information
In this step, you can customize the event and add details. Start by giving your event a catchy title, then add a date and time you are planning to host the event. The end time for events are not definite—you can end your event before or after the time you specified.
Don’t forget to choose a time zone if you’re expecting visitors from all around the globe. This will automatically translate the event time into the user’s time zone to reduce any confusion.
You can also add a description for your event to help others learn more about your event. You can also add links to any important pages users may need to look over before the event.
2. Add Visuals
You can also add a fun poster or image to your event. This can include the event name or just a regular photo to help users quickly identify the purpose of the event. If you have a trailer or a teaser ad, you can also add a video—this works especially well when users have to purchase a ticket, as they can see what to expect.
3. Choosing Roles
In this section, you can add hosts or moderators who will help you run your event. Moderators can push content onto the main screen. Moderators can also access security features that allow them to mute, kick, or admit users. This way, event hosts can focus on delivering the content and connecting with others with no distractions.
You can invite up to 5 people in with these positions, but 1 moderator per event is usually sufficient depending on the attendance.
This option works well for those who want to co-host, do a Q&A, or interview with others.
4. Ticketing
In this step, you can choose if your event will be paid or free. If your event is paid, you can also choose the dollar amount you will charge.
Click on “Publish” and you’re all done!
You can now see your event on your profile, along with any events you have hosted in the past. Other users can become friends with you or follow your profile to stay up to date on any future events you may post.
If your event is currently live, a green “.LIVE” button will appear, letting users know they can join right away.
Hang in there. You’re almost done! The last step is to select the type of content you will be using for your event. You can currently share an image, listen to an mp3 file, watch a YouTube video, share your screen, or work on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides in real-time. You can also view websites together while still having the ability to click into individual links through Cya Live’s multi-way windows. Support for Netflix will soon be available as well. React together through video or text chat in the right-sidebar.

Click on the room icon.
Creating a room allows you to create an instant event that is either public or private. You can choose the name and add tags. Once you’ve created the event, you have the option to add users through an invite link. If your event is set to public, others may also find your room through the tags you’ve selected. This option is faster and suitable for events where you want to watch videos with friends. Unlike an event, you do not have the option to schedule a specific time, add moderators or sell tickets. To create an event click here.
Hang in there. You’re almost done! The last step is to select the type of content you will be using in your room. You can currently share an image, listen to an mp3 file, or watch a YouTube video in the room format. Support for Netflix is coming soon!
Load your media by adding the file or a link if adding a Youtube video, don’t forget to give your video a name!
You can find all the content you added in the “My Assets” tab, this way you can easily switch between different content. You can now load the Youtube videos into the main screen, while you pause and play your videos for all users in real-time. You can react together through video or text chat in the right-sidebar.
