If you haven’t run a stream solo yet, read How to go live \u2014 pre-flight checklist<\/strong><\/a> and Public, ticketed and 1:1 private shows<\/strong><\/a> first. Collabs sit on top of those \u2014 you still pick a show mode (Public free, Premium per-minute, etc.) and the collab just splits whatever that mode earns.<\/p>\n Before anyone can invite you to a collab, you need to decide who’s allowed to send you invites. Find this in your studio’s pre-show settings panel under Co-creator collab invites<\/strong>. The tooltip reads:<\/p>\n “Decide who can invite you to a livestream collab. Friends are managed under Friends in your store dashboard.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s a three-up toggle with these buttons:<\/p>\n Pick your level, save the panel, and you’re ready to either invite or be invited.<\/p>\n You’re already live in your room and you want to bring another creator in. From the studio toolbar, click:<\/p>\n Invite co-creator<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This opens the Invite a co-creator<\/strong> modal. It contains:<\/p>\n Pick a creator, set the split, hit Invite<\/strong>. The modal closes and a banner appears across your studio:<\/p>\n “Waiting for [creator name] to accept collab invite\u2026”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n That banner stays orange until they accept. If they decline, the banner clears. If they don’t respond at all, the invite expires after a short window and the system cleans it up automatically.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n If another creator invites you, a banner appears across your studio (you don’t need to be live yet \u2014 the system polls for invites every few seconds). The banner shows the host’s avatar, their store name, and two buttons:<\/p>\n When you accept, the banner flips colour and the text changes to:<\/p>\n “Collab active with [host name].”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Your video and audio now publish into the host’s room. Their room URL is what viewers see; your storefront also shows that you’re collaborating on someone else’s stream. Tips, ticket sales and the per-minute meter (if any) start splitting at the percentage the host set when they invited you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n The split percentage is locked in at the moment the guest accepts. It applies to every revenue line during the collab session<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The split is recorded in the platform’s billing tables as two<\/em> commission rows per event \u2014 one for the host, one for the guest \u2014 with explicit Step granularity is 5 percentage points<\/strong>. So you can do 50\/50, 55\/45, 60\/40, 65\/35, \u2026 all the way to 90\/10 or 10\/90. There’s no way to go finer-grained than 5%.<\/p>\n You can not<\/strong> change the split after the guest accepts. If you want a different ratio, end the current collab and start a new one with the new slider value.<\/p>\n The host runs the show; the guest performs alongside but doesn’t drive the room.<\/p>\n1.
