📺 How to Cast EventStream to a TV for Live Viewing

Want to display your EventStream broadcast on a big screen during your event? Whether you're hosting a watch party or setting up a help desk monitor, this guide covers four simple ways to cast your ClickBid live stream from a phone or computer to a TV.

🆘 Tip: Share a Help Contact for Guests

Before your event begins, it’s a good idea to share a help desk contact so guests know who to reach out to for questions or tech help. You can include this contact:

  • On your Landing Page

  • In a mass message

  • In the Terms of your bidding site

Tip: Guests are more confident participating when they know help is just a message away.

🚫 Avoid Using the TV’s Built-In Browser

Warning: Do not use your Smart TV's web browser to access EventStream. The video may not play properly or could lag.

🔌 Option 1: Cast with an HDMI Cable

  1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your laptop.

  2. Plug the other end into an HDMI input on your TV (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.).
