What Viewers Will See 👀
Once your show is scheduled, a special preview bar will appear on your profile. Viewers can tap the bell icon to get notified by email when you go live. They can also tap the video icon to join the stream. Before the show starts, they’ll see your preview video in that spot. And don’t worry—your followers will automatically get an email notification as soon as you go live.
