Connect ClickBid to the Tools You Love
EventStream is live video auction software designed specifically for nonprofits. It allows your organization to host exciting, engaging auctions that bring donors together—whether they’re in the room or across the country. With seamless real-time bidding and built-in live streaming, EventStream helps you boost participation and increase giving at your next event.
EventStream creates a shared experience for everyone tuning in—supporters can watch your live auction unfold and place bids from their phone, tablet, or computer in real-time. Whether you’re hosting an in-person gala, a virtual event, or a hybrid fundraiser, EventStream keeps everyone connected and engaged.
EventStream is your online tool to help you take your paddle raise or mission moment during a traditional in-person event, online to a larger audience. Broadcasting your live event and giving donors a chance to contribute from their phones, allows you to reach more supporters and raise more money. You can create a virtual or hybrid event using ClickBid’s EventStream, which supports simple on-camera live streaming through your computer’s webcam, along with virtual paddle raises, FAN/mission moment management, and live auction controls. While advanced streaming (like pre-recorded video or external camera sources) is possible via third-party tools like OBS or Zoom, those integrations require separate setup and technical knowledge.
Whether you’re streaming from a stage, studio, or anywhere in between, EventStream, ClickBid’s live video auction software for nonprofits delivers a dynamic, interactive giving experience that engages supporters and increases donations.

ClickBid EventStream is a native live-streaming platform built specifically for nonprofit virtual and hybrid fundraisers. It integrates a real-time video broadcast, such as a live auctioneer or keynote speaker, directly into the bidding interface. This creates a seamless single-screen experience, allowing remote supporters to watch the program and place bids or donate simultaneously without switching windows.
Yes, ClickBid is optimized for hybrid auctions. Using EventStream, your in-person guests can watch the live auctioneer while remote bidders view the same live feed through their mobile devices. Both groups of bidders use the same ClickBid interface to place bids, ensuring that competition is synchronized and fair across both physical and virtual audiences.
To use ClickBid’s EventStream, you simply need a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. However, for professional-grade broadcasts, ClickBid is compatible with RTMP software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and Zoom. This allows you to use external cameras, microphones, and pre-recorded video overlays to enhance the production quality of your fundraiser.
Live streaming with ClickBid via EventStream is included in the Full Suite license, which is priced at $1,495 USD per year. This package includes unlimited events, custom messaging, and ticketing, alongside the video streaming tools. If you are on the Essentials plan ($895/year), you would need to upgrade to the Full Suite to access EventStream.
Yes. While EventStream is built for “live” interaction, you can incorporate pre-recorded videos (such as mission stories or sponsor shoutouts) by using a broadcasting tool like OBS. This allows you to toggle between a live camera feed and pre-recorded content, providing a polished, television-style experience for your donors.
Absolutely. ClickBid’s live streaming tools are specifically built to facilitate virtual and hybrid paddle raises (also known as Fund-a-Need). As the auctioneer calls for donations, the live stream can display a real-time “Donation Tracker” or “Goal Bar” to encourage donors at home and in-person to pledge a donation to reach the event’s fundraising target.
