Whether you want to share exclusive audio content with a select audience or test your streams privately, this update has got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about these new access levels and how they can enhance your Mixlr experience.
Next time you start or schedule a live event, you’ll notice some changes. Now, you can choose from three different access levels for your live events: Public, Unlisted, and Only Me.
(Note: your Channel privacy settings will override your Live Event access settings)
Access Levels Explained

Unlisted:
- Visibility: Not listed on your Channel, not searchable on Mixlr.com or in the Mixlr app.
- Access: Anyone with a link can join.
