# Test Preview

## Background

To facilitate the live production workflow, event producers can test and preview events before going live.

> [!WARNING]
> This feature is only available in the pre-live state.

### Steps

After [setting up your livestream](/v1/docs/event-setup) and [configuring OBS](/v1/docs/lspro-obs) for use with LiveStream Pro, you can conduct a live test of your event directly in the Studio. This helps to ensure a smooth and flawless transition to the actual live broadcast.

Specifically, you can test the event's audio, video, chat functionality, and slide presentation without in a live enviroment.

**Initiate and conclude a live test**

To commence a live test, click the *Event Test* button within the Studio.

**Eliminate Live Test Footprint**

Live tests produce no recordings, statistics, or reports, ensuring that no recordings or data are inadvertently generated during the testing phase.

> Note that the streaming server ingest is still counted towards overall streaming hours usage.
