Live streams earn from virtual gifts in real time, can attract new followers through the live discovery feed, and build a kind of audience loyalty that recorded content finds hard to match. Going live needs identity verification first; complete it in Settings before your first stream.
Before You Go Live
- 1.Check your internet speed: minimum 5Mbps upload for stable 720p streaming
- 2.Charge your device to 80%+ or plug it in for the duration of the stream
- 3.Set your stream title and choose a cover image in Studio → Go Live
- 4.Announce 24–48 hours in advance on your profile feed and any external socials
- 5.Prepare 3–5 discussion points or activities to avoid dead air
The Critical First 90 Seconds
Start with a loud, clear greeting and immediately tell viewers what the next 30 minutes will cover. Viewers who know early on why they should stay are more likely to stay.
Gift Revenue During Streams
Viewers buy coins and send them as gifts during your stream. The gift fee, and what received coins are worth, are listed on the pricing page.
Stream Length
Very short streams don't give viewers time to arrive and settle in; very long ones lose people without structured breaks. Try a few lengths and see what works for your audience.
Turning Your Stream Into Reels
If you choose to record a stream, you can cut highlights from it into Reels — a way to turn one live session into several short clips for the feed.
Subscriber-Only Streams
For premium content, set your stream to 'Subscribers Only' before going live. This restricts viewing to specific subscription tiers, making it an exclusive event — one of the best retention tools for keeping fans subscribed month over month.
