Launch a Broadcast – FocalShift

Maven adds this one: going live is the one thing on this deck you cannot do twice, so everything has to be settled before the light comes on.

Go Live Studio

One sitting, every stage you have built an audience on — with a private room to settle everybody into first, and a replay that keeps working long after.

A green room before the light goes onGuests, files, the running order and the mic check happen somewhere private first, and everyone keeps that room open beside the broadcast. What your audience sees starts already settled rather than being sorted out in front of them.

One broadcast, every stage at onceThe places your audience already watches are connected once and then forgotten about. A show goes to all of them or to the ones you choose — you are never picking which audience deserves the live.

The hour keeps working afterwardsWhat you streamed comes back as a replay you can point people at, cut into shorter pieces, put behind a tier, or turn into the letter that follows it up. The recording finally gets used.

The broadcast desk with the green room open across the top of it: a Backstage panel naming the show it is staging guests for, marked ready, beside controls to invite somebody, to pop the room out into a window of its own, and to step into it. Under that the room explains itself — a private place to check everyone is ready, to talk, to share files and to start recording, held open by every participant through the broadcast without leaving Mission Control. Below it a latest-content panel carrying the show that has already gone out, its date, and the note that performance appears once the destinations report back. Beside that your live shows, one under another, each with whether it is unlisted or public, its date, and where it has got to — still a draft, scheduled, or already complete — above a control to start another. Down the right a channel analytics panel giving a count of the shows made, the channels connected, the broadcasts completed and the replays waiting, and beneath it a destinations panel saying no channel is connected on this workspace yet, with a way through to connect one.

One camera. Every stage.

The broadcast runs out of a studio that lives on your own computer, set up once and then left alone. What lives here is everything around it: the shows you have planned, the room you settle people into, the stages the picture goes out to, and what the hour turns into afterwards.

Guests do not arrive on stage. They arrive in a private room first, where readiness is checked, the running order is to hand, files are passed round and the conversation happens before anybody is watching — and that room stays open beside the broadcast rather than being closed the moment it starts.

Destinations are connected once and then forgotten about. Every place your audience already watches can be on the list, and each show goes to all of them or to the ones you point it at, so the question stops being which audience gets the live one.

And the hour keeps earning. The replay is there to point people at, the highlights come out of it as shorter pieces, the whole session can sit behind a tier for the people who pay to be closer, and the same sitting is also an episode — recorded in a browser tab, with its guests booked 和 its episodes published to a feed of their own.
