There are many ways to live stream your culinary events. You could try Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or even Twitch. However, we provide you with an ultra convenient solution directly within the CooklyBookly platform itself. There’s nothing to install for you or your viewers.
Live streaming is not just a great way to communicate and engage with people, it’s also a great way to attract paying subscribers. You can tie live stream events to certain subscription plans and organise Q&A sessions, cooking demonstrations or anything other creative way of appealing to your audience.
As well as being able to broadcast video, there is also a chat window. This lets your audience ask you questions during the session. You can then respond using the chat window or directly on camera.
In order to live stream, you first need to create an Event. This lets you schedule the date and time of the live stream and notify your followers.
When you save your event, you have the option of notifying your audience. This will send your audience an email and, if they are using the CooklyBookly app, a push notification.
If you want to remind your audience closer to the event itself, you can revisit the Event screen by pressing the green button and selecting Edit. You can then press the Notify button.
Once you are ready to start your live stream, click on the tile in the Event Center. This will bring up the following screen.
When you’re ready to start the stream, press the Start button.
Your audience can view your live stream in the same way. They should go to their Event Center and click on the tile for your event. This will usually be the first tile in the top Upcoming Events section.
