Invite Guests with Guest Mode

Pac Post Live now allows for the use of Guest Mode to allow for users to enter and interact with a Show Viewer room without the need for them to first create a Pac Post Live account. To get started with generating a Guest Mode link use the following steps:

1. When signed in as a Show Publisher and accessing a stream, you will find a new icon at the top right of the Show Portal. This is the Guest Mode icon. If you do not see this icon, ensure that your Show Admin has enabled Allow Guest Invite for your account

4. You will now see in the Guest Mode panel and Guest Link is now active.

5. There is one more option that you may or may not want to set. Below the new Guest Link you will find a toggle labeled Auto Accept Guests. With this toggle active, guests will be automatically permitted into the room without any approval from the Show Publisher. When the toggle is inactive, guests will need to be individually approved in order to be admitted into the stream.

6. Next you will share the link and Passcode by copying this information from the Guest Mode Panel. To copy the info, click the Purple clipboard button to the left of the Link and Passcode.

7. Paste and send this information with guests for whom you would like to invite to the stream.

8. When guests click the stream they are asked to enter their First Name, Last Name, and Confidential Passcode in order to join the room. When they join, if Auto Accept Guests is enabled, they will enter the room automatically. If it is disabled, you will see the following appear in the Guest Mode Panel when they attempt to enter:
