Access Requirements for GoHighLevel Go Live
Before you start, make sure you have the right access in GoHighLevel Communities:
- You must be a community owner, admin, or assigned host.
- Your community should already be created and active.
- You should be logged into your GoHighLevel account with permissions to manage events or live sessions.
If you are not seeing the Go Live option, check your permissions or contact a workspace admin to enable community features.
How to Open the GoHighLevel Community Area
To host a live session, you first need to open the correct community in GoHighLevel.
-
Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
-
From the main dashboard, navigate to the Communities section.
-
Select the specific community where you want to host the meeting or broadcast.
-
Inside the community view, look for the area where events or live features are available.
Once you are in the correct community space, you can begin setting up your Go Live session.
Starting a Go Live Session in GoHighLevel
Within your community, the Go Live option lets you quickly launch a live room for members.
Step 1: Locate the Go Live Button in GoHighLevel
-
In the community interface, find the Go Live button or icon. This is usually located where events or posts are created.
-
Ensure you are in the correct community channel or space where you want the live session to appear.
When you click the Go Live button, a configuration panel or modal opens, allowing you to define how the session will run.
Step 2: Configure Your GoHighLevel Go Live Session
Use the session setup options to define the details of your live meeting or broadcast:
- Title: Add a clear name so members understand the topic.
- Description: Provide a short summary of what will be covered.
- Type of session: Choose whether this is a meeting-style session or a broadcast-style event.
- Visibility: Select if the live event is open to all community members or only to a specific group.
Review all details before starting so that members see the right information when they join the GoHighLevel live room.
Step 3: Choose Meeting or Broadcast Mode
GoHighLevel Go Live typically supports two primary styles:
- Meeting: Designed for interactive sessions where multiple people can join with audio and possibly video.
- Broadcast: Designed for one-to-many streaming, where hosts and a small panel present while the rest of the audience mainly watches.
Pick the option that best matches your use case, such as small group coaching (meeting) or a large community announcement (broadcast).
Managing Your Live Session in GoHighLevel
Once you have configured and started your Go Live event, you can control how it runs directly inside GoHighLevel.
Inviting Community Members
To bring people into your live session:
- Share the session link within the community feed or a dedicated channel.
- Tag specific members or groups to notify them about the live event.
- Use your community’s notification tools to alert members when you go live.
Since everything stays in the same platform, members can join the GoHighLevel live room without additional logins.
Using On-Screen Controls During Go Live
Depending on your account and current interface, you may see on-screen controls such as:
- Start and stop buttons for the broadcast or meeting
- Mute and unmute controls for hosts or participants
- Camera on/off toggles
- Options to switch between different views or layouts
Use these tools to manage the flow of your session and maintain a smooth experience for your community members.
Chat and Interaction Features
During your GoHighLevel Go Live session, you may have access to interactive elements such as:
- Text chat for questions and comments
- Reactions or basic engagement tools
- Options for participants to raise hands or request to speak (depending on configuration)
Encourage members to use these tools so your live event stays engaging and interactive.
Ending and Recording a GoHighLevel Go Live
When your meeting or broadcast is complete, you can end the session and review any available recordings.
Step 1: Properly Ending the Live Session
-
Use the on-screen controls to click End or Stop for the Go Live session.
-
Confirm that you want to end the event so that all participants are disconnected.
-
Allow a few moments for the system to process any recording data.
Ending the session correctly ensures that your GoHighLevel community members see a clear status and prevents accidental reconnections.
Step 2: Accessing Recordings (If Enabled)
If recording was enabled for your Go Live event, you may be able to access it from within the community or your account area.
- Look for a recordings section tied to the specific event.
- Download the recording or share it as a post in the community.
- Use the recording for replays, training content, or onboarding resources.
Repurposing your GoHighLevel live sessions as recorded content can significantly increase the value of your community.
