As a Network Host on any Paid Plan, you can go live in any Space where you’re also a Space Host.

On Mighty Pro and Path-to-Pro, Network Hosts can enable livestreaming permissions in Spaces for Space Hosts and Network moderators by reaching out to our team.

Any member will be able to join your livestream, if they have access to the Space. You can have up to nine people join onscreen for a livestream (including the Host).

On Android, viewers can minimize a livestream to perform other actions (in-app or externally), and still stay engaged through a picture-in-picture box. Coming to iOS in the future!

When going live on desktop, you will see some options at the bottom of the screen during the livestream, including the ability to toggle your camera and/or microphone on and off and the option to Share Screen. Your own video will appear in the left corner of the screen for viewers as you screen share.

When choosing to share your screen, depending on your browser, you may then need to grant permission and/or choose what to Share (a specific window or the entire screen). Your screen is immediately shared with participants until the session ends or you click the “Stop Sharing” button. Screen sharing is not currently available on an iPad or on Safari. On mobile you can flip your camera to show a screen.

Note: Screen sharing on Safari does not work since there isn't a way to select the screen you would like to share. Please use Google Chrome as your web browser when conducting a livestream.

A note on sharing sound: If you screen share a tab on Chrome, you can share that tab’s audio, however all screen share options in other browsers will only share the video content. If you are using an External webcam and turn your computer sound up, it will pick up the sound. It will also pick it up if you just use your computer speaker and camera but not as well.
