# How do I run a test livestream?

First time live selling on District? Practice by running a test live!

Once you are approved to go live, you can run test livestreams to practice. 

### How to run a test live:

1. In the iOS App, go to Seller Dashboard and tap 'New Live'
2. Enter the live details and toggle "Private" ON. 
3. Continue on and add listings if you'd like. If not, tap skip.
4. Tap 'Go Live'!

*Note*: By toggling on "Private", no one will receive any notifications and your live will not show in the District (owners & admins will have still have access). 

If you're using the Android District Live app, please check out the guide [here](/selling/going-live/go-live-from-android/run-a-test-live-android.md).
