In vyb we make it simple to send email notifications to all ticket holders from your event. Maybe you need to tell of a time change, parking instructions, a line-up change, or just simply want to tell all your fans you are excited to see them at the event.
Below are the steps to email all the event ticket holders:
Navigate to My Dashboard
Click “My Created Events”
Click Action menu
Click “Email Attendees”
You’ll get a pop-up where you can add your own subject line and message. We have pre-populated some text for both, but feel free to edit this as you see fit.
Once you have the information you need, simply press send and we’ll take care of the rest! All ticket holders will receive the email.
While most GoLives can be done as spur-of-the-moment recordings from your phone, sometimes you want to use footage you’ve already created and get some buzz for your fans. In vyb you can upload any footage and schedule when it will GoLive. This is especially great when you want to create some buzz but can’t do multiple GoLives, just take existing footage and schedule out your whole campaign. Now, this means that you can’t react to comments, so just remember that.
Here are some ideas:
Go back through your old videos, what do you have from significant moments in your career?
If you are recording a new album, take some videos during the recording process. Make some teaser videos and schedule them out to build hype to your release
Stitch together cool moments from your shows in a video montage showcasing the energy of your live performance.
To upload and schedule a GoLive, follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Navigate to GoLive in your Dashboard
Select “My GoLives” in your Dashboard
Step 2. Select “+ Upload GoLive Video”
Just like a regular GoLive, edit the title and Audience. Don’t stress too much on these, you can always change them from the Action menu under your GoLive dashboard.
Step 3. Set Your Source
For the source, you can set a Thumbnail image. This is purely optional.
Upload the video by selecting from files on your device.
Step 4. Schedule your GoLive
By default, your GoLive will publish immediately. You can change the date and time to anytime in the future.
Use this feature to upload multiple videos and schedule them out.
Once your are ready, press the “Upload GoLive” button.
Make changes if you need
That’s it! Make scheduled GoLives part of your campaign to build buzz with your fans.
If you want to change the date or title of the video, simply use the Action Menu next to the show.
If you are a label or a manger, we have given you special features and access to extra data on your artists.
Here are the steps to setup your account:
Step 1: Signup to vyb
After selecting Signup for new account, choose your account type, either label or manager
Step 2. Fill in basic account information
Just like an artist profile, fill in the basic account information. Don’t worry, you can always go back and edit this later if you want to make changes.
Step 3. Invite Artists
Click “+ Add Artist” and then add the artist name and their email.
If your artist is already on vyb, we’ll email them to accept your invitation.
If the artist is not on vyb, we’ll take care of emailing them and inviting them to the platform to complete their profile.
Step 4. Artists accept their invitation.
Your artists will receive an email like this one, inviting them to the platform. If they are an existing vyb artist, then they can simply accept or decline the offer.
If they are not on vyb yet, clicking “Accept” will take them through an onboarding process. They don’t need to complete their profile, they can simply make a start and save it as draft.
Step 5. Monitor Artist signup process in your dashboard
In your dashboard under “My Artists” you can see all the artist you have invited to vyb.
Invite Status: shows if they have accepted or declined your invite. If the status shows “Invited” that means they have yet to take action
Account Status: shows you the status of their profile, either “Draft” or “Completed”. If is says “Completed” this means they have published their account.
Step 6. Add Other artists from your dashboard
From that same dashboard you can add additional artists to the platform. Under the Actions you can delete a connection to an artist if they are no longer affiliated with you.
Once an artist has accepted your invitation, their profile will automatically get a link to your manager/label page
This is how you set your profile and invite artists. As always, email us at help@vyb.co with any questions or suggestions.
GoLives are one of the most important things to use on vyb. GoLives are meant to be quick recordings that engage and excite your fans, content they only get in your vyb account. Regular GoLives keep your fans coming back to your account and let you speak to them directly.
You can be really strategic with your GoLives by choosing the audience. Make some content available for all fans, make some exclusive to your subscribers. Here are a couple of examples:
You are recording new music and you want to hype your audience for the upcoming release. Record a short GoLive that only plays the hook of a new song, then announce at the end that if people want to hear more, they need to subscribe. Now go record a longer playthrough of the song and make that exclusive to your subscribers.
You are on the road with a tour, do a quick GoLive backstage, intro some of the other people hanging out there.
Do a rig rundown of the gear you are using for a show or on a recording.
Take one of your popular songs and record an intro describing the songwriting or recording process.
Every Saturday at noon do a GoLive where you play a couple of songs in your rehearsal studio. Let fans in the chat pick the next song you play.
Your fans can give you tips during the GoLive, so it can be a fun way to do regular engagements with them without all the setup of a ticketed event.
Here is how to record GoLives and start engaging your fans:
Step 1. Launch GoLive
From the top Launch menu, select GoLive
Step 2. Set the Title and Choose Audience
By default, vyb will use the date to set a title for your GoLive. You should edit this to something more descriptive for your fans.
Now set the Audience. This is who can watch this while you are live as well as well as view the video afterwards.
Not quite sure if you have the catchiest title, don’t stress!! The title and Audience can be edited anytime you want after you’ve recorded your GoLive, even years later
Step 3. Choose Stream Source
The easiest thing to do for stream source is to use your built-in webcam from a laptop or your phone. Don’t turn this into a big hassle, just grab your phone and do a quick video.
If you want to use a more sophisticated multi-camera setup, you can select Streaming Software to use OBS or other popular video software programs.
Step 4. Set Privacy Settings
Under privacy settings, you can choose if the recording is available afterwards. Usually we recommend that you do this, that way you build up your exclusiive content library.
Make your GoLive more interactive by letting fans chat with you during the GoLive.
Step 5. You are Ready to Record!
Now simply press “Start GoLive” and you are recording!
The chat will be on the sidebar, make sure to check that if you’ve let your fans know you are going live at a certain time.
After you are done, the GoLive video will show up in your profile in a few minutes.
Step 6. Generate a Preview
Your video may need a moment or two to show up. Refresh your screen and once it is there, you can generate your preview. If you want to use a frame in your video, then scrub the video to the right position and make note of the timestamp.
In the bottom right, click the Generate Preview select a thumbnail image for a preview
Select an image to act as a thumbnail image for your GoLive
Alternatively, you can change your video timestamp to the right position in your video.
Click the Generate Preview button and then hit “Save:
Fans can now see your GoLive!
Any of your followers and subscribers will be notified that you have done a new GoLive.
If you’ve made this GoLive open to all, then any fan can find the video in your profile and watch it.
Make Edits to Your GoLive
To change the title or audience of your GoLive, navigate to My GoLives in your dashboard and select “Edit” from the action menu.
To change the preview image, select “View detail” and then re-generate the preview.
