Guest / Co-Host Invitation
Guest / Co-Host Invitation
What is it?
Guest invitation is the feature that brings another person into the live broadcast — typically with nothing more than a link. The guest clicks, allows camera and mic, and appears in the show. A co-host is the stronger version: a guest with controls (can share screen, manage scenes, stay for the whole show as a partner).
Practical example
A host messages their guest an hour before the show: "Click this link at 9." At 9, the guest opens it on their laptop browser — no account, no app install, no stream keys — checks their camera preview, and joins. Thirty seconds from click to on-air. This frictionless flow is the core reason tools like StreamYard exploded: the guest's experience, not the host's, decides whether remote shows are practical.
Key things to know (non-technical)
- The golden rule: guests must need zero technical knowledge — every requirement (account, install, settings) loses real guests.
- Guest vs co-host is a permissions question: appear only, or help run the show.
- Practical limits matter: how many simultaneous guests (4? 8? 10?) is a headline spec of any tool.
- The host needs guest controls too: mute a guest, remove a guest, bring a waiting guest on — the bouncer's toolkit.
In Tupic Live
"Send a link, guest appears" is the feature that turns Tupic Live from a solo broadcasting app into a talk-show platform — and since guests join from a browser, every potential guest in the world is reachable without them installing anything.
