To live stream to paying members on WithMe, create a post, a digital product or a course lesson with Go Live, choose who can watch live and who can watch the recording, and start streaming from your browser with your camera and microphone. Only people with access can watch, the chat opens when you start, and the recording plays in the same place afterwards.
WithMe is $25 per month billed annually (UK £25), with a 14-day trial and 0% WithMe commission. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply. More than 8,000 creators use it.
Where can you go live?
- In a membership post, for weekly classes or Q&As for your members.
- In a digital product, to sell a one-off live event.
- In a course lesson. Add a live lesson, save the course, then start the stream from that lesson's menu.
How do you start a stream?
- Choose Go Live as the media type for the post, product or lesson.
- For a membership post or a digital product, set who can watch: Live Tier type for the live stream, and Post Recording Tier type for the recording.
- Open the stream page, allow your camera and microphone, and choose portrait or landscape.
- Press Start transmission. Live chat becomes active as soon as the broadcast begins, and you see how many viewers are watching.
- Press Stop transmission when you finish. The recording is saved automatically and plays in the same post, product or lesson.
Can live and replay access be different?
Yes. For example, your top tier watches live and asks questions in the chat, while a cheaper tier gets the recording once it is ready. To keep the live stream or the recording out of your membership tiers, choose Don't include in membership.
How do members know you are live?
WithMe does not send an alert when you start, so tell people beforehand. Send a broadcast the day before with the time and the link, and post the time in your community.
Can you stream from your phone?
Yes, from the browser on your phone; the stream page adapts to a small screen. There is no separate streaming app.
What is not included?
You cannot share your screen, and there is no stream key for OBS or other streaming software, so streams come from your camera. There is no automatic going-live alert to members. Go Live is not available inside a community. For a group call on Google Meet or Zoom instead, sell a Webinar.
