Bring Viewers on Stage
Invite anyone watching up live, on camera and mic, alongside you.
What It Is
During a live Q&A you can pull any viewer up on stage. They appear on screen next to you, on camera and mic, until you (or they) decide they're done. It's the "imagine if I could just ask the asker to come up and tell us more" moment, except it actually works.
Each on-stage moment becomes part of the recording and the clip from that question, so the back-and-forth gets shared the same way every other answer does.
How It Works
As the creator
While you're live, tap on a viewer in your audience list and pick Invite up. A 40-second window opens for them to accept.
If they accept, their tile appears next to yours. The guest tile has Mute (silences them for everyone, video stays up) and End (with a confirm prompt) to wrap their turn.
Invites only go out when you tap. Nobody comes on stage on their own.
As a viewer
When a creator invites you up, you'll see a prompt with a live camera preview. You have 40 seconds to tap Come up; pick whether mic and camera start on or off before you do (you can flip either once you're up). Tap Leave stage anytime to step off.
Safety
Before your camera ever goes live to the audience, we run a quick check on the preview frames you saw in the modal. If something looks off (inappropriate content, no person visible, etc.) we won't publish the stream and you'll get a short explanation.
While on stage, your audio is also continuously monitored. Repeated violations of the Community Guidelines end your time on stage automatically.
Sharing
The accept modal asks whether you're OK with the clip from this question being shared on socials. This is the same toggle that runs on every question submit, with the same vocabulary ("Allow sharing" vs "Session only"). Whatever you pick sticks as your default for the rest of the session.
Important nuance for multi-person clips: consent stacks across everyone in the segment, and the most restrictive answer wins. If the question asker says yes but you (on stage with them) say no, the clip is not shareable on socials. The creator can still watch and download the recording for their own use; only the social-export path is gated. Same rule applies in reverse - if either of you says yes but the other says no, the clip stays session-only.
What the Audience Sees
For viewers who aren't on stage, the stream layout splits into two tiles, host on top and the on-stage guest on bottom. Captions follow whoever is speaking. The chat overlay hides for the on-stage viewer so they can focus on talking, but everyone else's chat keeps flowing.
Common Questions
Can I invite more than one viewer up at once?
Not yet. The current cap is host + 1 on stage at a time. We're watching how creators use it before opening the cap further.
What happens to the clip when someone is on stage?
The on-stage segment is recorded as part of the answer. When the question's clip is generated, the back-and-forth between you and the on-stage viewer is included.
Does it work for free events too?
Yes. Bring-viewers-on-stage is included on every paid and free tier.
