PRIVATE BROADCAST

Private live streaming for celebrations in the United Kingdom

Across the United Kingdom, relatives are often scattered between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with family abroad on top of that. A private link lets them all watch the same Christmas morning or birthday without an app and without a public post.

How to live stream Christmas to family abroad

For a family Christmas, start the stream as presents are opened and share the link only with invited relatives. A Bonfire Night display or a christening works the same way: one link, visible only while you are live.
