We're so excited for you to go live!
Store, studio, pop-up shop, home, or anywhere.
We give sellers and brands the creative freedom to set any stage for their livestreams... as long as it's legal 😅 (our lawyers wanted us to put this in writing).
But with that, we'd like to share some tips on what we think good livestreams have in common:
Keep your stream setup simple. We'll provide more tips on setting up a good space below but always keep it as simple as possible!
Check your Internet speed
Be mindful of the noises and the traffic in the area
Make sure that the lighting is consistent and that the subject is easy to see
Use a good-quality camera: livestreams don't require Hollywood-level cameras, but make sure that the quality of the camera is clean
Make your space fun! Cool spaces, backgrounds, and decorations can help make the stream more interesting and be used as conversation-starters for you and your viewers
Keep your battery charged. Make sure that you have a nearby plug to keep your equipment charged throughout the Live Room
Here is what a Live Room looks like from the iPhone 13 Pro without any additional equipment:
If you're happy with this for your livestream, then great! But if you would like to enhance the appearance of the livestream, here is our guide on setting up your space for a Live Room.
We recommend having:
Phone Stand
Long Phone Cable
Keylight
The purpose of the key light is to highlight the main subject of the video
Softbox Light
Soft source of light that minimizes harsh shadows
Background Light
Background light are similar to Softbox Lights as they help to reduce the shadows behind the subject of the Live Room; but Background Light can provide an additional effect such as colours
