Live-Setup und Übersicht

  • Aktualisiert

Patreon Live ist derzeit für Kreative verfügbar, die die folgenden Kriterien erfüllen:

While Patreon Live is not yet available to creators in the Adult/18+ category, we’re working to responsibly expand access for more creators and ensure the product meets our community's needs.

Was ist Live?

Live is another way creators can offer shared experiences to their members, right on Patreon. It lets you connect with your true fans in real time and is integrated with everything you do on Patreon.

Wenn du von Patreon live gehst, werden deine Mitglieder sofort benachrichtigt, egal ob es Zeit ist, abzuhängen und zu chatten, deinen größten Fans einen Blick hinter die Kulissen zu gewähren, deinen Mitgliedern etwas Neues beizubringen oder bevorstehende Veröffentlichungen zu besprechen. Jedes Live hat auch einen Chat, mit dem du dich mit deinen Fans verbinden kannst und sie miteinander chatten können – kein Wechsel mehr zwischen den Apps.

Ticket-Livestreams (Beta)

Wir starten eine neue Möglichkeit für Kreative, Ticket-Live-Events direkt auf Patreon zu veranstalten, alles innerhalb ihrer Creator-Seite. Wir freuen uns, dir helfen zu können, diese Erlebnisse mit unserem neuen Ticket-Livestream zum Leben zu erwecken.

Ticket-Livestreams ermöglichen dir Folgendes:

  • Organisiere kostenpflichtige oder kostenlose Live-Events für deine Fans.
  • Verkaufe Tickets oder integriere den Zugang als Teil deiner Mitgliedschaft.
  • Streame nativ auf Patreon, mit Wiederholungsoptionen für Teilnehmer*innen.
  • Behalte deine Community und deine Einnahmen an einem Ort im Blick.

👉 Interested in joining the beta? Creators can indicate interest by filling out this form. We'll reach out directly if you're a good fit for the early access program and a spot becomes available. If you're already in the beta, check out our Ticketed Lives FAQ.

Du kannst ein Live auf die gleiche Weise starten, wie du jeden Post erstellst.

  1. Click on Create from the left-side navigation (desktop) or from the bottom menu (app)
  2. Wähle Live aus.

Once you're on the Live setup screen, you can customize everything from your title and audience to how you stream.

Einrichten von Live

You can use a desktop, the Patreon mobile app, or a third-party streaming software to go live. To host an audio-only Live, simply turn off your camera when setting up your stream.

  • You can go live directly from your computer using your webcam.

    Here's how to get started:

    1. Click on Create from the left-side navigation
    2. Wähle Live aus.

    3. In the right side panel, find the Camera source section and select Computer webcam

      • When you select it for the first time, your browser will prompt you to grant camera and microphone permissions. Click Always Allow
    4. Passe deine Live-Einstellungen an:
      • Audience: You can go live to All Members (free and paid) or to any Paid members tier. For eligible creators, it's also possible to sell one-time access to a Live. Note: Ticketed access is currently in beta. Creators can share interest by filling out this form
      • About: Set your title and description. Your audience will see the title you created when they're notified about the event
      • Thumbnail: Upload an image in JPG, JPEG, PNG, or GIF, up to 2 GB. Recommended size 1024x1024px
      • Enable chat replay (On by default): If you keep chat replay enabled, viewers will be able to rewatch the recording with chat messages appearing in sync with the video timeline — just like during the original Live
      • More settings: Check other settings, such as Email and push notifications to alert members when you schedule or start a Live, and Auto-moderation to filter spam in chat
    5. Take a look at your Live preview before you go Live. Make sure you've allowed access to your camera and microphone and test your video and audio
      • Camera turned on, but your preview is not showing up? You may not have granted permission for Patreon to use your webcam's inputs. Head to your browser settings to change your permissions
    6. Du möchtest ein reines Audio-Live veranstalten? Wähle in der Live-Vorschau Computer-Webcam als Kameraquelle aus und gehe dann zum unteren Rand des Vorschaubildschirms, um die Kamera auszuschalten.
    7. Ready to go? You can Go live now or Schedule a live for a specific day. Scheduling gives your members time to plan ahead — we'll also send them email and push notifications when your Live is coming up. You can enter your scheduled Live up to 5 minutes early to test your setup. Learn more about notifications we send for Live
    8. To finish your live, click End in the center of the Live viewer: Your recording is automatically saved to Drafts, where you can publish it as a post or download it for editing. After your Live ends, you'll return to your Library and see a summary of how many members joined and how active the chat was. If Chat Replay was enabled during setup, chat messages will appear in sync when viewers watch the recording later

  • You can go live directly from your phone using the phone's camera.

    Here's how to get started:

    1. Tap Create from the bottom menu
    2. Wähle Live aus.
      • When you select it for the first time, your phone will ask for camera and microphone permissions. Tap Allow

    1. Click on Create from the left-side navigation
    2. Wähle Live aus.

    5. In your streaming software of choice, add the server URL and stream key from your Live preview on Patreon. Some streaming software, like Zoom, may also ask for a stream URL. In this case, paste the browser link to your Live (the https://www.patreon… link at the top of your web browser)
      • Klicke in deiner Streaming-Software auf Streaming starten, wenn du fertig bist.

    6. Navigate back to your Live preview on Patreon. Clicking Start Streaming in your streaming software should now successfully bring your stream over to Patreon

    7. Ready to go? You can Go live now or Schedule a live for a specific day. Scheduling gives your members time to plan ahead — we'll also send them email and push notifications when your Live is coming up. If you schedule a live with a streaming setup, you'll be able to head in and check the setup 5 minutes before your Live begins
    8. To finish your live, click End in the center of the Live viewer: Your recording is automatically saved to Drafts, where you can publish it as a post or download it for editing.

    Unterstützte Streaming-Software

    The stream key and server URL for each live you create are different: You'll need to use a new stream key and server URL every time you plan to stream to Patreon.

Dein Live teilen

Once your Live is scheduled, you’ll be taken to a countdown page where you can share or download a promo card or copy your Live link to share it manually. This makes it easy to promote your stream across your social media and let fans know when to tune in.

Jeder, der auf den Link klickt, sieht die Countdown-Seite, bis der Stream beginnt.

Nach einem Live

After your live ends, a recording will automatically be saved as a draft in your Library. Sharing a recording with other members keeps lives working even after they're over.

So greifst du auf deine Aufnahmen zu:

  •  
    1. After you end your Live, you’ll be notified via email and push notification that your recording is being processed. For longer lives, expect to wait a few minutes before your live recording is ready
    2. Once ready, you can find it under Library → Drafts
    3. Von hier aus hast du folgende Möglichkeiten:
      • Post the recording directly to your page — Posted recordings of a live are subject to video content and volume guidelines

      • Download the recording if you'd like to edit further in a video editor

  •  
    1. After you end your Live, you’ll be notified via email and push notification that your recording is being processed. For longer lives, expect to wait a few minutes before your live recording is ready
    2. Once ready, you can find it under the Profile tab → Manage posts
    3. Post the recording directly to your page — Posted recordings of a live are subject to video content and volume guidelines

Chat-Wiederholung

Chat Replay lets members catch up on the conversation even if they missed your Live. Here's how it works:

  • If Chat Replay was enabled before your stream, the chat messages from your Live will appear in sync with the recording when members watch it later. 

  • This allows viewers to experience the conversation as it happened, even if they couldn’t join live. 

Live-Hosting und Speicherlimits

Auflösungsbeschränkungen

Kreative können derzeit Livestreams mit einer Auflösung von 720p oder 1080p durchführen. Bei Mitgliedern optimiert Patreon automatisch die Anzeigeauflösung für native Videos und Live-Streaming-Inhalte. Standardmäßig sehen die Zuschauer*innen Inhalte in einer Auflösung von 720p. Diese kann jedoch auf 480p reduziert werden, wenn 720p keinen Mehrwert bietet. Falls verfügbar, können die Zuschauer*innen manuell zu höheren Auflösungen wechseln.

Speicherung von Medien und Richtlinien für die Erstellung

  • Draft content: Any recorded live sessions in draft status will be automatically deleted after 6 months
  • Veröffentlichte Inhalte: Nativ veröffentlichte Videoinhalte werden gemäß unserer aktuellen Richtlinie auf unbestimmte Zeit gespeichert.
  • Monatliche Upload-Beschränkungen: Um Missbrauch zu verhindern und eine faire Nutzung der Plattform zu gewährleisten, sind Kreative auf 100 Stunden an Medien pro Monat beschränkt. Dies gilt sowohl für native Video-Uploads als auch Livestreams. Diese Obergrenze gilt monatlich und ungeachtet irgendwelcher dauerhaften Upload-Beschränkungen. Ausnahmen können für neue Kreative mit umfangreichen bestehenden Inhaltsbibliotheken gemacht werden.
  • Upload-Limits ohne kostenpflichtige Mitglieder: Um Missbrauch zu verhindern und eine faire Nutzung der Plattform zu gewährleisten, gilt für Kreative ohne kostenpflichtige Mitglieder ein Upload-Limit von insgesamt 100 Stunden. Diese Grenze erhöht sich auf 100 Stunden monatlich, sobald ein kostenpflichtiges Mitglied beitritt.
  • Beschränkung auf einen Stream: Kreative können nicht auf mehr als einem Post gleichzeitig live senden, um eine optimale Streaming-Qualität zu gewährleisten.
  • Maximale Streaming-Dauer: Einzelne Livestream-Sitzungen sind auf maximal 12 Stunden ununterbrochener Übertragung begrenzt. Wenn dieses Limit erreicht ist, müssen Kreative ein neues Live starten.
