A friend has invited you to share their live video on your social channels. This means that you have been invited to allow that person to send their live stream video to your selected destinations. When they start live streaming, they can send the same exact stream to your selected destinations. Your followers will receive push notifications.

- You must have the proper credentials for each destination.
- You must have live streaming enabled for YouTube (this process can take up to 24 hours).
