Never has anyone unsubscribed from an email that’s too short. So here I'm with a short and sweet one, since I’m still floating in the Adriatic with my kids.
If you're (already) on Substack (or planning to be), here's the big news: Livestreaming just got a major upgrade.
My little boy would say: Level up!
We bought this Mickey Mouse shirt in Venice that says this!
Here’s what’s really hot & new:
✅You can now invite guests by email or SMS, even if they’re not on Substack.
✅There’s now an audio-only mode for those who are camera-shy!
✅Substack creates promo assets for you when you schedule a livestream (perfect for Notes & social).
Here’s what has been here before promotion-wise, but many didn’t know about:
✅Substack automatically creates short video clips after your stream.
✅If a clip is performing well, you’ll receive notifications in real-time (as with your Substack notes posts or newsletters), and on iOS, you’ll see statistics in your video post.
✅If you’ve connected your YouTube account, your top 2 clips
will be uploaded to your Shorts channel.
