Initiate a livestream

  • Updated

Who is this feature for?

  • Sites at an institution where this feature is enabled

If you’re at the originating site with a patient and an Eko device, you can start a livestream so that a distant site provider can listen remotely. This is typically used where there is a cart or Eko endpoint that multiple people use at the originating site where the patient, and Eko device, is located.

Here’s the general process:

  1. Sign into the Eko App or Eko Dashboard.

  2. Pair the Eko device with either the Eko App or the Eko Dashboard.

  3. Start the livestream from either the Eko App or Eko Dashboard.

  4. Share the livestream link (if required).

  5. Distant provider listens to the livestream either with the link or with the Eko Dashboard.

About livestream links

A livestream link for a site or clinician is always the same URL. It can be shared with many different people, who can save the link and navigate to it anytime they want to listen to the livestream. It can also be reset when needed by your Institution Admin or Program Admin.
