Premiere

What is it?

A premiere is a pre-recorded video broadcast as if it were live: it has a scheduled start time, a countdown, and a live chat — but the video itself was finished days earlier. The audience experiences a shared live event; the creator experiences zero live-performance risk.

Practical example

A creator finishes editing a polished 30-minute documentary about their city's food scene. Instead of quietly uploading it, they premiere it Friday at 8 PM: followers get reminders, a countdown plays, and at 8 the video rolls while the creator sits in the chat — answering questions and reacting alongside viewers in real time. The content is perfect (it was edited), the event is live (everyone watches together, with the creator present), and the chat replay even stays attached to the video afterward.

Key things to know (non-technical)

• It separates two things live streaming normally bundles: content quality (now editable) and shared experience (still real-time).
• The creator's role shifts from performer to host in the chat — often more engaging than being on camera.
• Perfect for: launches, episodes needing editing, anything where a live mistake would be costly.
• It's also a scheduling trick: record when convenient, premiere at the audience's prime time — even while the creator is asleep.

In Tupic Live

A premiere feature — pick a video from the media library, set a time, Tupic Live broadcasts it as a live event across destinations while the creator works the chat — lets Tupic Live creators run "live" programming without being live, the first step toward true scheduled channels.
