Should we move the livestreams?
🕑 Added 2023-12-22 18:26:02 +0000 UTCWe have been talking about the possibility of moving our livestreams over to YouTube memberships. We have been having issues with Patreon and the Crowdcast app, and I wanted to see what you all thought. I am not making a decision right away, just wanted to gauge your thoughts about it. Also, I know some of you wanted to still have access to the past livestreams over here, so I can keep Patreon going and give access to them at the $1 a month tier if that helps :)

The question is where can our messages be kept private? Can they be identified somehow?
Peita Brown
Thank you. Will contact them and see if I can get it sorted 🙂
Kati Morton
Thanks Ben! 💗
Kati Morton
It won’t let you increase your pledge?? 😳😵💫 reach out to support@patreon.com and they should be able to fix it quickly. I’m so sorry you’re having issues! Keep me posted 💗💗
Julia Smith
I’m not good at making decisions and also I’m new around here so I’ll go with the flow 😊
Peita Brown
Totally irrelevant but when I joined Patreon. I only opted for the $1 tier 😩. Now I can’t upgrade to a higher tier. I am sooooo glad I joined this community 🩷 I really don’t mind if they stay here or move.
Alecia Bernardoni
How would it work for them to be for patreon members only?
Kati Morton
Definitely! xoxo
Kati Morton
Yes! The livestreams where I answer your questions :) xox
Ben Pearson
@Kati You can do an unlisted stream, giving the link from Patreon. That way you have to have the link to join the stream, but it would still be on YouTube.
Joolz
Would it help to do a Trial Run for the one of the Extra Livestreams via Youtube ?
Angela Ross
I can never make the live streams so I feel like I don’t have a say. Sorry guys
Tina Bounds
Would it be possible to vary the times occasionally? Working a M-F 8-5 kind of job makes it hard to participate very much
Emily Menzies
The combo drives me crazy…but I still prefer ❤️
Alecia Bernardoni
Is this the Q&As?
Rhonda
I wish you had more openings for the top tiers
Zanarie
I love it on YouTube but I stepped my membership down because I wasn't asking anything really for that reason. Tho I do miss them as the hangouts are great.
Kati Morton
Yeah I don't think they have that feature either. xoxo
Kati Morton
I don't know if they have that feature.. so good point :) xox
Kati Morton
Good point!
Kati Morton
You would just switch to paying on YT only :)
Kati Morton
As a side note if you are in the top 2 tiers and do the hangouts, those will remain the same. xoxo
Karen Moseley Cox
Yes, please move them. I've never been able to log into the Crowdcast app so I always miss out.
Frederic Merizen
I find the viewing experience marginally better on YouTube but I would half cast a quarter of a vote if that had been an option
Kiaya
I love the fact that I don't have to compete with others to get my question answered here on patreon. If there was a way to gather individual questions and ensure they all get answered on YouTube I would be game to move.
Christoph S.
I prefer the Patreon/ crowd cast but I am open to both.
Gina Stacey
Also a good point!
Gina Stacey
The only part of it I'm unsure about is how you would you do extra livestream questions as I don't think YouTube has a separate question feature in the chat.
Zanarie
The only thing that puts me off the YouTube live streams is that there is no way to stay anonymous when asking questions.
Celina
YES PLEASE MOVE THEM OVER TO YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP BUT PLEASE KEEP ALL THE OLD LIVE STREAMS OVER HERE AT THE $1 MEMBERSHIP LEVEL BECAUSE I USE PAST LIVE STREAMS Q&A S THESE AS RESOURCES on a daily basis
Rhonda
So does that mean we would have to be a paid subscriber with YouTube too?
Nick Higney
I'm open to either. I will miss the intimacy of the patreon lives though
Rhonda
Yes please move them.
