The live event widget embeds one of your events on your own site, so visitors can see what's coming up and get tickets without leaving the page.

## Setting it up

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations**.
2. Find **Widgets**, then the **Live Event Widget**.
3. Select **Setup**.
4. Under **Select a Live Event**, choose which one to feature.
5. Set the customization options.
6. Copy the snippet from the code panel and paste it into your site.

## The options

- **Show Cover** — the event artwork
- **Show Genres** — the genre tags
- **Show Price** — the ticket price

Plus background and foreground colours to match your site.

### Show Price

Worth thinking about. Showing it qualifies people before they click, which is good for a reasonably priced event. Hiding it makes sense if the price varies by tier, or if you'd rather someone read what the night is before seeing a number.

## Authorize your domain first

Widgets only render on domains you've approved, or visitors see an error. Do this before pasting the code. See [Authorizing Domains for Your Widgets](/hc/djs/articles/1786145955-authorizing-domains-for-your-widgets).

## Where to put it

On your homepage or an events page. The strongest layout is a live event widget beside a booking widget — someone who sees you're actively playing is warmer to a booking enquiry.

## Keeping it current

The widget features one specific event. When that event passes, it doesn't swap itself for the next one — you go back into the builder and select a different one.

Worth putting in your calendar. A widget still promoting last month's night is worse than no widget.

## The other widgets

There are three: **Booking Widget**, **Mix Widget**, and **Live Event Widget**. All are set up the same way and share the same authorized domains. See [Embedding the Booking Widget on Your Site](/hc/djs/articles/1786047500-managing-the-booking-mix-and-live-event-widgets) and [Embedding the Mix Widget](/hc/djs/articles/1786145955-embedding-the-mix-widget).

## Testing

Open your page in a private browser window and check the event renders, the artwork loads, and the ticket link works.
