  1. Sign in to the ModelCentro website;

  2. Click Live Shows in the main menu;

3. Click Start a Live Show Now

4. Choose the preferred live show type: 

• Group show is a free multi-user show that'll be available for a group of Fans that you will select upon its set up and everyone from this group will be able to join it.

Private show is a one-on-one or a group show that will be visible to a select group of Fans. You can learn more about it here.

Let's say, the Group show was selected. The following screen will appear:

  1. Upload an attractive cover for your live show. You may either select a file from your computer or take a snapshot using your webcam.

  2. Write a live show goal in that field to encourage your fans. This field will also be available when you start the live show. 

  3. You may enter a custom message about your live show and tweet it to your Twitter page, both before and during the live show. Please note, that Twitter should be connected to your ModelCentro site first, which can be done here.

  4. You may choose which user group may be able to watch your live show:  

    Guests - any site visitor.

    Free - free users who don't have a subscription to your site, but may have tipped you, been a user in the past, or joined via free registration, in case it was enabled on your site.

    Premium - the users that have a premium subscription with you.

  5. You may copy a link to your live show, so you can easily share it wherever you want.

Once you are ready, click the Start My Show button.

Once the live show is started the settings will be replaced by a chat window: 

  1. You may tweak the user groups, who have access to the live show on the fly. Corresponding people will be able to join or get kicked depending on the active settings.

  2. This tab shows the current chat history.

  3. Here you may check the list of fans, who are currently watching your live show.

  4. This button stops the live show.

  5. This button mutes all sound from your microphone, so users won't hear anything.

  6. This button enlarges or minimizes the live show screen for you.

  7. Here you may type messages to your fans in chat.

Now let's take a look at the Fans tab:

Here you have additional user interaction options:

  1. Clicking on the eye icon may block a person from seeing your broadcast. He will still be able to communicate in the chat, though.

  2. This allows you to "mute" the desired person, so he won't be able to write anything in the chat. However, the broadcast will still be shown.

  3. Using this @ icon you may mention the specified user in live chat, in order to address him directly.
