Wedding guest questions · For the host
Will there be a live stream for those who can't make it?
“Live dekh sakte hain?”
Say whether you will stream the wedding, which part, and where the link will be. Pick the part that matters most, often the pheras. Share the link a day before and again an hour before, and tell relatives abroad the time in their own time zone.
What to tell guests
How should you answer it?
- Choose the moment: the pheras, the varmala, or the whole ceremony.
- Test the link and the venue's internet the day before.
- Write the time in IST and in the time zones your family abroad lives in.
- Name one person to run the stream, so you are not the one asked when it freezes.

How do I live stream an Indian wedding?
Choose the part to stream, set a phone or camera on a stand, test the venue's internet the day before, and share one link for YouTube, Zoom or Google Meet.
Which part of the wedding should we stream?
The part relatives would most hate to miss, usually the pheras or the varmala. A short, steady stream is better than a long, shaky one.
