The CommentSold Broadcast app is how your shop will capture and broadcast the audio and video feeds for your live sales. Our updated app includes improvements to the underlying streaming engine, which results in higher quality streams and lower latency. You can download this app on both iOS and Android devices.
Any team member can download the CommentSold Broadcast app; however, they will not be able to log in and stream a live sale via the app unless you have granted them the Can Use Broadcast App permission. You can do so on the Team page in your CommentSold dashboard. Learn more about team permissions here.

Product videos can come in handy if you want to include a fit or styling video on the product page. By uploading or recording a video from the CommentSold Broadcast app, you streamline the process and bypass the need to link the video to a social post.
Videos can automatically be published to your webstore and your mobile app if you have these channels enabled.

- Tap the desired product, then tap Upload Video.
- Choose whether to Pick a Video from the Camera Roll or Record a Video using the app.
Products with a video attached will display a small video icon beneath the product name, as seen with the Bowl Set product in the above GIF.
