# Livestream from another site to your Virtual Pop-Up

# How to use another site (like YouTube Live, Zoom, etc) to go live in your virtual pop-up

Going live in your party is a great way to encourage excitement and engagement with your guests!

You can use the Live Stream Link feature to publish a link to an off-site location you are going live in (such as YouTube or StreamYard).

###### Benefits of publishing your live stream link in a Virtual Pop-Up:
* You can schedule your link ahead of time.
* Your guests will receive an alert that you are live, at the time your post is published.
* Those participating live can comment on that post, keeping them engaged with the community.
* If the live stream was recorded, that video recording will show for those who were not able to watch live.

*You can watch the full video tutorial below or continue reading for written instructions.*
