How it works
From invite to on air in three steps
Share your invite link
Open Invite guests in the studio, copy the link and send it however you like, or invite people by email. Make a new link any time and the old one stops working.
vidyst.link/maya/joinCopyLet them in when you're ready
Guests open the link in their browser and wait in the lobby. You see who's asking to join and choose Let in or Decline.
Go live together
Pick a layout like Side by side or Podcast and your guests appear on every destination, wide and tall. Chat with them backstage where viewers can't see.
Why it works
A green room, a stage and a mixer in one app
Reset the link any time
Make a new invite link with one click. The old one stops working, and guests already in the room stay.
Echo cancellation
Set it to Automatic, Always on or Off. Automatic kicks in when a guest plays your show through their speakers.
Backstage chat
Talk to your guests before and during the show. Viewers never see it.
In your recording
Guests are recorded with the show, mixed into the program, in MP4, MOV or MKV.
On every destination
Guests appear on every platform you stream to, in both the wide and the tall canvas.
Invite by email
Send invites from the app and see who you’ve invited at a glance.

Questions about guests
How do guests join my live stream?
Open Invite guests in the studio and share the link, or send an email invite. Guests open the link in their browser, enter their name and ask to join. You let them in when you are ready.
Do guests need to download an app or make an account?
No. Guests join from their web browser on a laptop or phone. There is nothing for them to install.
How many guests can I have on stage?
Up to 2 guests on Basic and up to 10 on Creator, plus you as the host.
Can I control who joins?
Yes. Everyone waits in the lobby until you press Let in, and you can decline anyone. If a link gets shared too widely, make a new one and the old link stops working. Guests already in the room stay.
What about echo when guests use speakers?
Echo cancellation can be set to Automatic, Always on or Off. Automatic turns it on when a guest plays your show through their speakers.
Can I talk to guests without viewers seeing?
Yes. The backstage chat is only for you and your guests. Viewers never see it.
Do my guests show up in the vertical stream too?
Yes. Guest layouts like Side by side and Podcast have tall versions, so your guests are framed for Shorts and Reels as well.
