Go Live
Broadcast a rehearsal straight from your browser — to the band, or to anyone with your band page.
What it is
Go Live streams audio from one person's browser to everyone listening, with about a second of delay. It is audio only — there is no video — and it is built for rehearsals, writing sessions and soundchecks rather than for a polished broadcast.
- One person broadcasts; up to 50 people listen.
- Every session is recorded. When you stop, the recording is uploaded and filed with your other recordings, so a good jam is not lost just because it was live.
- While you are streaming, a LIVE pill appears in the band sidebar so the rest of the band can join in one click.
Going live
Open Live in the band sidebar and set three things before you start:
- Input: pick your microphone or interface, then use Test input to watch the meter move before anyone is listening.
- Title: what the session is, up to 120 characters.
- Who can listen: When you start, choose Band only, Public or Invite only.
Who can listen
- Band only is for members and guests.
- Public is open to anyone with the link, and shows a banner on your public page.
- Invite only uses one link that an admin makes on the Live page with Make a link. It works for private bands and is never listed publicly. Make a new link replaces it, and Turn it off stops it.
A set or a practice
A live set is saved to your recordings as live. Practice is saved as a rehearsal.
Songs as you go
In the Songs card, type what you're playing and press Tag, or Song ended between songs. Leave it blank for a jam. When you stop, the tags become songs on the recording. Hand tagging to a bandmate with Pass.
Listening
Band members can join from the Live page, the LIVE pill in the sidebar, or the dashboard. If the stream is public, anyone can listen from your band page without an account — no sign-up, no app.
Followers
Listeners can choose Notify me when they go live on your public page. They get an email when you start a public set, at most once an hour.
Reactions and chat
Listeners can react and chat. Chat names are picked once per session.
- The person broadcasting, and admins, can delete messages and mute people.
- They can also turn chat or reactions off, or set a slow mode.
Streaming from a DAW
There is no plugin to install. Route your DAW's master output into a virtual audio device — BlackHole or Loopback on macOS, VB-Cable or VoiceMeeter on Windows — and choose that device in the input picker.
Capture runs with echo cancellation, noise suppression and automatic gain control switched off, so your mix arrives the way you made it rather than being second-guessed by the browser.
Limits
Up to 50 listeners, four hours per session, and one live session per band at a time.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Listeners | 50 per session |
| Length | 4 hours, with a warning 5 minutes before the end |
| Sessions per band | One at a time |
| Audio | 128 kbps stereo Opus |
| Stream title | Up to 120 characters |
When you stop
Stop & save tells listeners the set is over and uploads the recording to your band. Listeners see a short wrap-up with a link to the recording, if it's public.
If the browser closes mid-set, the backup stays on that device for 48 hours, and you can upload it from the Live page.
The person who started the stream can end it, and so can an owner or admin.
