Community Livestreams

Owners and moderators can broadcast a live video stream to their community, with broadcaster tools not available in a regular Live Nut call.

Going live

Open the community and tap Go Live.
The stream starts as soon as you grant camera and microphone access.

Only the community’s owner and its moderators can start a stream. Everyone else sees Members only if a stream isn’t running yet, or a way to join once one is.

Broadcaster tools

While you’re live, a tools sidebar gives you:

Filter — cycle through a color filter (Vintage, B&W, Sepia, Vignette).
Brand — overlay your community’s watermark on the stream (Nuts Premium).
Lower 3 — add a lower-third caption over the video (Nuts Premium).
Mic — mute or unmute yourself.
Camera flip, and, on the back camera, a flashlight toggle.

Tap the X in the header to end the stream.

Finding and joining a live community

On mobile, a community that’s currently live shows a Join Live button on its community page — tap it to watch.
On the web, live communities show a glowing ring around their logo — in the sidebar, the Rooms directory, and on the community page itself — with a small Live tag. Tap the ring from anywhere to join instantly.

Once you’re in, you get the same controls as any Live Nut call — mute, camera, switch camera, speaker, and quick reactions — plus a live watching count. There’s no separate text chat panel during a stream; reactions are how viewers respond in the moment. The community’s regular group chat, described in Community Chat, is a separate, always-on space that isn’t tied to whether a stream is live.

On the web

Starting a stream works the same way — tap Go Live on the community page. Once a stream is running, the button becomes a LIVE indicator with a viewer count. Broadcasting on the web uses the same call controls everyone else gets (mic, camera, screen share, reactions), rather than the app’s dedicated filter, watermark, and caption tools, which are mobile-only for now.
