Stream Your Wedding Everything You Need to Know

How do I invite guests to my virtual wedding?

Depending on the platform you choose, inviting someone can be as simple as:

• Sending a custom link using Mslive (YouTube allows this if you have over 100 subscribers). This alternative works for everyone, and Mslive sends reminders prior to the wedding so your guests can join on time.
• For other platforms you should send the instructions to download the app, sign up for an account, and access your event (Zoom or Facebook). This second option isn’t ideal for non-tech savvy users, or the elderly. The problem with this alternative is that people can forget about your wedding.

When using Mslive, you have the option to upload a CSV file with all your guests emails and they’ll be automatically notified.

The best way to invite your guests is to send them an invitation through email, private message, or even adding the streaming URL to your wedding invitation.

You have to consider this: If your family and friends watching from home are young and tech-savvy, you can choose any platform and invite them through any medium, and they’ll be able to join.

In case that you have some people watching from home that are not experienced social media users, or aren’t familiar with apps and logins, I’d strongly recommend that you steer away from any platform that requires an account or app to watch your wedding.

To get started, I recommend you to set up a guest list of people you’ll invite. Then you can share your event link, and they’ll be able to RSVP and get reminders automatically when the wedding starts, if you choose to go with Mslive.

Expert tip: It is good to create a schedule of events of what you will broadcast, even if it includes approximate times. This will allow your virtual guests to take a break and come back for first dances, speeches, or anything that you decide to share with them.

If you decide to pause your event and then resume, Mslive will send them an email as soon as you go back live.

How long can I live stream my wedding for?

Most platforms will give you enough time for you to share everything that is important to you and your virtual guests.

The main difference is that with most of them you won’t be able to stop the live stream and resume later, as you can do with Mslive.

Live streaming platforms and their time limit:

• Zoom will allow you to live stream for 40 minutes unless you pay for a Pro subscription.
• Facebook allows you to stream for 4 hours on mobile, or up to 8 hours from a computer.
• YouTube allows you to broadcast live for up to 12 hours.
• Mslive allows you to live stream for up to 24 hours, and you can pause and resume your video as many times as you want within that time frame.

Which parts of the wedding should you broadcast?

This one is easy! You should live stream everything you’d like to have on your recording that can be shown to your family and friends back home.

Most couples usually choose to begin the live stream at the ceremony, starting 10 minutes before to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

Then, they pause the live stream and resume when it’s time to show a little bit of the cocktail hour, followed by entrances to the reception. When people have dinner the live stream is usually on pause, and then they start broadcasting again for first dances, speeches, and cake cutting. That’s when it usually ends.

Many couples decided to do a first look prior to the ceremony, and it was also included in the live stream. It was a very emotional moment for them to see each other for the first time and having that moment recorded gave them a huge reason to watch the replay many times after.

Insider tip: Our couples who did that said that the comments on their virtual guestbook skyrocketed when the groom started crying! They had so much fun reading it a few days later while watching the first look almost on loop.‍

How do I record my wedding live stream?

If you are using Zoom, and paying for a Pro subscription, your recording will be saved on their server unless it exceeds 1GB, in which case the recording won’t be completed. I don’t know about you it makes me feel uncomfortable not knowing if I will get the full recording or not.

Mslive saves your video automatically to an online server for 365 days, and to your phone. If your phone is full and you can’t store any more video in it, the server recording is always available for download for a full year. You will get an email with a download link after the live stream ends, and you can watch the replay anytime on your big tv.‍

On Facebook Live, a heavily compressed version of your video will be available for download from the three dots on your video viewing screen. You can follow this guide to do it. Please note that Facebook might block your video if you play music with a copyright licence.

For live streaming with YouTube, you can download your recording from YouTube Studio (Beta) following this guide, or the Creator Studio Classic accessing your Videos tab and selecting Download MP4 from the dropdown menu.

YouTube has limits on how many times a video can be downloaded within a day (5 times!), and you won’t be able to download it if you played copyrighted music in the background.
