Going live is a capability, and it switches on with a handle. Sign in at the door like anyone else, then claim your handle. That's the whole setup: no second account, no application, and the fan side of you stays exactly as it was.
- Your door: the address fans will hold. The availability check answers while you type — a taken name refuses before you submit.
- The name fans see, on chat, receipts and your page.
- Open your door: one tap and the studio is yours.
What the handle opens
- Your page —
/yourhandle: your name, your shows, your Passes, your Encores shelf. - Your room —
/yourhandle/live: the one destination that needs no connection and can't ban you. - The studio — one feature, one button: GO LIVE. Everything else in the studio exists to make that button worth more.
Free means free
Claiming costs nothing, and the money rails run from day one: Passes and tips work on the free rung, so your fans' money clears before ours does. You pay when you want the bigger front stage — the first paid stream is $27. The ladder is on Plans and the money ladder.
Handle rules
Three to thirty characters: letters, numbers, underscore. The handle is your public address, so pick the one your fans already type elsewhere.
Next
Bring the audience you already have — the studio opens with a short arc that starts with your list, because going live to a full room beats an empty one. Then connect destinations and GO LIVE.
