Live Co-Hosting

Live Co-Hosting allows a live seller, or Host, to invite another person to join their livestream as Co-Host. The possibilities are endless: run live sales with each other, conduct interviews, or just hang out with a friend. Hosts and Co-Hosts can add their own respective listings to the Live Store. Bringing listings to the Stage, handling order fulfillment, and receiving payouts for both the Host and Co-Host remain the same as if each were running their own show.

Inviting a Seller to Co-Host

To invite another seller to co-host during your livestream, follow these steps:

Go Live: If you aren't already live, start your livestream. You must be live to invite a seller to co-host.

  1. Tap your name in top left: While you're live, tap your name in the top left of the screen.

  2. Access Sellers List: Tap "Sellers" in the bottom right to view the sellers within the marketplace.

  3. Search and Invite: Search for the seller you'd like to invite, tap the seller's name, then tap "Invite to co-host."

  4. Seller Notification: The selected seller will receive a notification with the option to accept or decline the invitation.

Option #2:

  1. The Co-Host can send a message in the live chat.

  2. Tap their username in the chat.

  3. Tap "Invite to Co-Host"

Co-Hosting FAQ

Q: How do payouts and order fulfillment work in a co-hosted live? A: Both the Host and the Co-Host are able to add their own respective listings into the Live Store. The seller who creates the listing is responsible for order fulfillment and receives the payout, as if they were selling the item on their own.

Q: Can the Host remove the co-host from the stream? A: Yes, the Host can remove the Co-Host by tapping the Co-Host's screen, then tapping the "Stop co-hosting" button.

Q: How can the Co-Host stop co-hosting/leave the stream? A: The Co-Host will tap the "X" in the top right and see the option to Stop co-hosting and watch or Exit stream.

Q: What happens if the Co-Host taps "X" in the top right during the live? A: The Co-Host will see the option to "Stop co-hosting and watch" or "Exit stream." The Co-Host leaving will not end the Host's stream.

Q: Can a Co-Host boost the livestream? A: Yes, Both the Host and Co-Host can boost the livestream to their own linked socials.

Q: Can the Host schedule a stream with a Co-Host? A: No, you can only invite a Co-Host after the livestream has started.

Q: Who does the audience see as featured/big screen? A: The audience is able to switch between who they see as featured by tapping the screen.

Q: Can the Host and Co-Host both have items on stage at the same time? A: No, only one item can be on stage at a time. If an item is running and the other seller brings their item to stage, it will automatically replace the current item. Be sure to communicate when bringing items to stage and allow auctions to finish before bringing the next item to stage.

Q: Which platforms is the co-host feature available on? A: Both Host and Co-Host must use an iOS device. The audience can view on both iOS and web. The co-host feature currently does not support Android or OBS.
