Which platform do you prefer for Live Chats with us?

Not everyone is digging using Instagram for our live chats. Do you want to see a different platform used, and if so, which one? 

Comments

Twitch :) You have the video posted automatically after the stream is done and you can see the Chat after.

Jennifer Farr

I miss the IG lives all the time and you can’t see the questions in the replay. Plus there is always a lag on IG for me unfortunately-

Nicole Wehrman

I love Instagram but agree with someone else that watching the replays you don’t get to read the comments/questions and I find them hard to see anyway. For those who don’t have Instagram, maybe repost the whole videos on Patreon afterward?

Carmen Griggs

Here in my house we're set up with Zoom since my better half uses it for his meetings with Valley Adult Day Services which is an elder day care center. He is the Board Chair. I like the way it works too.

Kathy Surber

Youtube?

Nancie Rogers

Facebook

DENA FRITZ

I ditto what the others are saying - what is easiest for you- I am a teacher and if I have to learn one more platform I may dive over the deep end:)

Pandra Beecroft

I'm happy with whatever you choose. 😏

Jeanne Okerlund

Maybe do one on insta and one on something else?

Li

Facebook, but I’ll figure out whatever you decide to use.

Amanda Smart

My only issue with IG is that I don’t get notifications when you’re live so I miss it. I could just be better about remembering when the lives are supposed to be.

Sheila Diller

I have used discord for years, if you decide to go down that route please feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to help you get set up

Nicole Birk

I don't use Instagram and don't have the space on my phone to download it, but I like the idea of a discord as you could have channels where the patrons could chat, get to know each other and become a community :) You could also give custom roles to everyone according to their Patreon tier, or anything else you like.

Nicole Birk

I’m a little biased though because I just converted the agency I work for (750 employees) over to Zoom and have been hosting/coordinating all the meetings while people learn so I have Zoom on the brain lol....

Jennifer Percopo

I’m starting to get the hang of Instagram, but omg Zoom would be AWESOME!!! It has all the extra features too, like hand raise, reactions... ability to send private message in-chat to host...

Jennifer Percopo

I am perfectly okay asking the questions here and waiting for the video later on patreon. I just don't have an Instagram account and have no desire to have one

David Eugene Deutsch

Facebook live??? I’m fine with instagram but understand if it’s not working FB may be a better option!

Ali Stergas

I'm not sure exactly how or what it is however the chloesactuary uses something called slack. If you wanted to look into it. I'm OK with Instagram though, not sure if it matters allthat much but is very nice of you to take your patrons preferences into consideration. Just reminds us how wonderful you are 😉

Jodi

Jamie, Did you get tired of saying the same thing over and over when people kept saying YouTube...lol?

Connie Muttart

YouTube if it can work for patreons only

Kristin Winchester

YouTube has 3 different options for live streaming- Public, Private and Unlisted. YouTube’s Private streaming allows sharing the event video to 50 different people at once (provided that they have active Google plus accounts). Private videos will not appear in any of the search results or the video recommendations. The YouTube live stream will be accessible to the invitees alone which is a much-needed feature for private events.

I don't have an issue with Instagram when watching live but when watching old / missed episodes I immediately wished it had the chat replay like YouTube has. Recordings would be much better when you can see the questions that were asked.

Chris Mallabon

Other livestream apps you can require a password but I can only recall Twitch. I don’t think YouTube allows to approve subscribers so you can’t make patreon exclusive. Ha, Zoom would be interesting but how many will show their faces or even talk? 🤣

Rosanna Lam

I found a youtube video that explains how to do it. https://youtu.be/nVnd1dkg_iY

But is there a way to host a private live stream on YouTube? When I initially tried it, it seemed to go entirely public and these are supposed to only be for patrons.

Youtube, though I seldom get to chat because I live on the East Coast and work nights.

Barbara Stone

I like youtube or Facebook

Ember Free

I'd also like youtube...but pretty much anything other than FB/IG works for us.

Trede Dreyowolfe

YouTube I’m a YouTube addict and hardly ever see my notifications from other platforms
