How do I notify my followers when I go live?

Leave the notify option on when you go live and your followers get a heads-up the moment you start. It is one of the simplest ways to fill your stream early. Followers control whether they receive live alerts in their own notification settings, so keep your titles clear and your schedule consistent to make those alerts count.

Telling your followers you are live is the single easiest way to get more people in early. VERGR handles the alert for you: when you go live with the notify option on, the people who follow you and have live alerts enabled get pinged that you have started.

Turn it on when you go live

1. On the Go Live screen, make sure the notify-followers option is enabled before you start.
2. Write a clear title that tells people what they are tuning into. That is what shows up in the alert.
3. Hit Go Live. Your followers with live alerts on get notified that you are streaming.

What you control vs what your followers control

• You control whether the go-live alert fires for a given stream (the notify option) and what the title says.
• Each follower controls whether they receive live alerts at all, in their own notification settings. Some will have them on, some off.
• So a strong title and a consistent streaming time matter: they make the alerts people do get worth acting on.

If you schedule a stream in advance, followers can also be reminded before it starts, not just when you go live. Pairing a scheduled slot with a go-live alert gives you two touchpoints instead of one.

Viewers who want to never miss you can turn on live notifications for your profile specifically. Encourage your regulars to do it: it is the most reliable way for them to catch every stream.
