How do we take part in this competition? Just what do we have to do???:s

Hi,

To participate in the YouNow Live Video Contest, you’ll tune in to YouNow.com/YouTuber tonight at 5PM EST. Our host, Joey, will explain the rules!

You’ll want you to jump into the queue and once you’re LIVE, you’ll broadcast saying the following lines using your best production skills and your most creative flair!

Hi There.

This is a new channel. Be the first or one of the first to broadcast, live, on this new channel. Go for it, broadcast now. It’s easy!

Check out our blog post for more information!

how do you broadcast with another younow'er at the same time???

Hi Lena!

Broadcasting with another YouNower is easy and fun. 

  1. If you are currently broadcasting you can invite another YouNower who is “cammed up” to broadcast alongside of you.
  2. Alternatively, you can choose to “cam up”, (which is just preparing your camera and mic) and the current broadcaster can select you to broadcast with them!

See here for more information!

Sincerely,
The YouNow Team

can I get notifications from the younow app when people I am a fan of are broadcasting

Hi,

We don’t have this feature, but it’s coming soon!

Similar to how the Feed works, you will soon be able to receive push notifications when you people you are a fan of are broadcasting - so you never have to miss a beat.

Stay tuned :) 

Sincerely,
The YouNow Team

I'm not really into broadcasting my own but I like to watch people's broadcasts so could you chane the app so you can watch and become a fan on mobile ?

That’s totally fine!

We have good news for you - we hope to release a version of the YouNow mobile app for iOS very soon! It will have the capability to discover live broadcasts, watch & vote on them, and chat with the broadcaster and others in real time. 

And of course, you can broadcast as well if you so desire!
Stay tuned… :)

Hey! I'm running low on coins!!! What are the best ways for me to gain coins?

On YouNow, users are awarded coins for actively participating on the site. This includes chatting and most importantly broadcasting! 

Users can also snag some coinage by gaining new recruits.

New recruits can be earned by:

  • Having new users log into while broadcasting
  • Sharing broadcasts via Facebook & Twitter (more info here)
  • Inviting friends to YouNow (more info here)

Coins are awarded for every new user (new recruit) that comes to the site and becomes a YouNow member through the link that was shared, the invite that was sent or during ones broadcast.

Lastly, logging in daily will earn every user 200 coins! CHA-CHING!

Hi YouNow. I've been broadcasting a lot and had some pretty embarrassing moments. Is there a way I can hide these broadcasts?

Good question! Users can easily hide a broadcast from public view by following these two simple steps.

1. Go to the “My Stats” page.

2. Scroll down to the broadcast you wish to make private and uncheck the “Public” box.

Once unchecked, the broadcast will be removed from the reruns list and will not be viewable from the user’s public profile page.
