¿Qué son las retransmisiones en directo?
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.
Al iniciar una retransmisión en directo desde Patreon, se notificará a tus miembros de inmediato, ya sea para reuniros y charlar, contarles a tus mayores fans un relato personal, enseñarles algo nuevo o discutir los próximos lanzamientos. Cada retransmisión en directo cuenta con un chat mediante el que puedes conectar con tus fans. Además, este chat permite que tus fans se comuniquen entre sí sin necesidad de cambiar de aplicación.
Directos con entrada (versión beta)
Vamos a implementar una forma nueva de que los creadores organicen eventos en directo con entrada directamente en Patreon, sin salir de su página. Estamos deseando ayudarte a que esas experiencias cobren vida con nuestra nueva función Directos con entrada.
Con Directos con entrada, podrás:
- organizar eventos en directo de pago o gratuitos para tus fans;
- vender entradas o incluir el acceso como parte de tu suscripción;
- retransmitir de manera nativa en Patreon, con opciones de repetición para los asistentes;
- tener tu público y tus ingresos en un solo lugar.
👉 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.

Cualquiera que haga clic en el enlace verá la página de cuenta atrás hasta que empiece la retransmisión.
Después de una retransmisión en directo
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.
Así puedes acceder a tus grabaciones:
-
- 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
- Once ready, you can find it under Library → Drafts
- Desde aquí, puedes hacer lo siguiente:
- 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

Repetición del chat
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.
Alojamiento de directos y límites de almacenamiento
Límites de resolución
En estos momentos, los creadores pueden retransmitir en directo con una resolución de 720p o 1080p. En el caso de los miembros, Patreon optimiza automáticamente la resolución con la que se ven tanto los vídeos nativos como el contenido de las retransmisiones en directo. De forma predeterminada, los espectadores ven el contenido con una resolución de 720p, aunque se puede ajustar a 480p en casos en los que un valor de 720p no conlleve ninguna ventaja. Los espectadores pueden cambiar manualmente a resoluciones más altas cuando estén disponibles.
Normas de almacenamiento y creación de archivos multimedia
- Draft content: Any recorded live sessions in draft status will be automatically deleted after 6 months
- Contenido publicado: el contenido de vídeo nativo publicado se almacena de forma indefinida, según nuestra política actual.
- Límites de subidas mensuales: para evitar abusos y asegurar un uso justo de la plataforma, los creadores están limitados a 100 horas de contenido multimedia al mes, lo que incluye tanto subidas de vídeo nativo como retransmisiones en directo. Este límite se aplica mensualmente y es independiente de cualquier restricción de subida que se aplique con duración ilimitada. Se pueden hacer excepciones con creadores nuevos que tengan bibliotecas de contenido extensas ya creadas.
- Límites de subida para creadores con miembros que no son de pago: para evitar abusos y asegurar un uso justo de la plataforma, los creadores con miembros que no son de pago están limitados a 100 horas de subida en total. Este límite se incrementará a 100 horas al mes cuando se una un miembro de pago.
- Limitación de una sola retransmisión: con el fin de garantizar una calidad de retransmisión óptima, los creadores no pueden emitir en directo en más de una publicación simultáneamente.
- Duración máxima de la retransmisión: las sesiones individuales de retransmisión en directo están limitadas a un máximo de 12 horas de emisión continua. Una vez alcanzado este límite, los creadores deberán iniciar una retransmisión en directo nueva.
