How do livestreams work for creators?

You can go live straight away or schedule a stream for later. Once your creator account is verified, open Live and start a new stream.

Set up a stream

1. Enter a Title and Description.
2. Select Fetch Devices, then choose your Camera and Mic.
3. Choose your options:

• Record Stream keeps a recording of a free stream.
• HD Stream streams in higher quality.
• Go Premium makes the stream paid. Enter a price; the form shows the minimum and maximum.
• Schedule Stream sets it for later. Pick a Schedule Date & Time and a Live Duration.

4. Select Go Live, or Create Stream if you scheduled it.

Paid streams

• Recording is turned off for paid streams.
• There's no discount setting for paid streams. You can tell fans about a special price in messages.
• If a paid stream is cancelled, never starts or isn't completed, fans who bought it are refunded.

Notifications

PlayHouse sends a notification when you go live, and an email when you schedule or cancel a free stream.

If something goes wrong

1. Refresh the page.
2. Select Fetch Devices again and check your browser allows camera and microphone access.
3. Restart your browser or device.

If it still doesn't work, contact us.

Everything you stream must follow the same rules as your posts. See What's allowed in livestreams.
