Notifications and Audience Engagement

Scheduling in advance doesn’t just save you time – it also builds anticipation with your fanbase. Platforms like YouTube automatically alert your followers with “starting soon” notifications or event listings, so more viewers show up when you go live. With Upstream’s seamless scheduling functions, you can set it and forget it while your audience gets ready to tune in.

  • Build anticipation
  • Schedule ahead of time to alert followers
