Guest Call-In
The Guest Call-In feature allows viewers to request a live appearance on a broadcast. Hosts control who joins, when they join, and can remove guests at any time.
Guest Call-In is available in Easy Mode (browser-based) broadcasts only. It is not available when using Advanced Mode (RTMP).
Enabling Guest Call-In
Before going live, the host enables guest requests from the Guests tab in the Creator Studio left panel. This activates a "Join" button visible to viewers in the app.
The host can customize the call-to-action shown to viewers, including:
- Request title and message
- Waiting screen text
- Approval message and button text
Guest Request Flow
- Viewer requests to join — The viewer taps the "Join" button in the app and sends a request.
- Request appears in Creator Studio — The host sees pending requests in the Guests panel.
- Host reviews — The host can preview the guest's video feed before accepting.
- Host accepts or declines — Accept adds the guest to the broadcast; decline removes the request.
- Guest goes live — The guest's video/audio feed appears in the broadcast composition.
- Guest or host can end — The guest can leave voluntarily, or the host can remove them at any time.

From the Guests panel, hosts can:
- Accept Approve a guest request and add them to the broadcast.
- Decline Reject a guest request.
