How To Go Live

Accepted Answer

How to Go Live in your SocialGlow Group

SocialGlow supports live video streaming in three different ways.

1. Streaming via the SocialGlow mobile app

Use if you prefer to go live from the SocialGlow mobile app without needing to link to another program.

| This feature is available to those with either a Premium or Platinum subscription.

This is the most seamless way to livestream from your phone. Instead of linking to another program, you can just choose the LIVE option when creating a new group post, and start streaming right away.

2. Streaming via YouTube Live Stream

Use if you want a “one-to-many” live stream (i.e you want to stream yourself while others can only watch and listen, and comment).

This option has the benefit of the live stream happening directly inside your SocialGlow group. In other words, when your guests click the live stream it doesn't open a new tab or take your guest to any other website.

Question 5

Using Zapier to connect SocialGlow to another App

Accepted Answer

Using Zapier to connect to other apps

You may find yourself wanting to connect your SocialGlow account to another app, to help streamline your business.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a sort of mediator between over 5,000 apps, the glue connecting your different web integrations together.

Say, for example: each time you sell an e-book of yours in a different app, you want that person to receive an invitation to join your SocialGlow group.

Zapier allows you to automate these triggers-and-actions, which they call Zaps.

Once that trigger is engaged (the purchase of your ebook), Zapier communicates that to SocialGlow and your action (an email invitation to your SocialGlow group) will be completed automatically.

While this example was the sale of an e-book, the sky is the limit here. With over 5,000 apps available to connect to, you are likely to find a good fit for whatever trigger you're wanting to enable.

Connecting your SocialGlow account to Zapier

First, you'll need to log in or create an account with Zapier. They have different price levels, including a free plan.
Connect your SocialGlow account

From Zapier, click My Apps from the lefthand menu
Click the Add Connections button, in the righthand
