How to go live on Skool (Skool Call)?

Skool now allows you to go live natively in the app or on the browser without needing any third-party streaming platforms. You can go live or create a scheduled event hosted directly on Skool.

  1. As an admin, you have the option to Go Live in your group.

  1. This creates an instant event for your group's members, called "Random Hangout".

This is what members will see on their end.

  1. You can COPY CALL LINK and share it in the group for the members to be notified.

  1. Whilst on the call, you can chat with the participants, share screen, allow members to share screen, change background, mute members, or even kick them out of the call for misbehaving. Of course, you can record the call as well. The recording is available for 14 days for you to download. You can upload it to a post or as a lesson in the Classroom.

  1. Admins can either leave the call letting members hang out, or end the call for everyone.
