Premiere a video as live
Support guide · 2 min read · 11 Oct 2026
Play an uploaded video as a live broadcast at a set time, with live chat and reactions, without being there.
A premiere plays one of your ready videos as a live broadcast. Your audience watches together, chats and reacts, and you don't need to be online.
Start or schedule a premiere
From a video: go to Media → My Content → Videos, open the menu on a ready video and choose Premiere as live. Pick Go live now or Schedule and a time.
From a broadcast event: in My Content → Events, open the menu on an upcoming broadcast and choose Premiere a video. Pick the video and, for a recurring event, the session.
Before it starts
Your event page shows the premiere status: Scheduled, Ready, Needs attention, Started or Didn't go live. A video that was just uploaded needs a few minutes of preparation; schedule at least 30 minutes ahead to be safe. If something needs your attention we email you.
> Choose a time that doesn't clash with your other premieres. If it can't start, the status says why.
