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.
Qu'est-ce qu'un direct ?
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.
Lorsque vous passez en direct sur Patreon, les membres de votre communauté sont immédiatement prévenus, que ce soit l'heure de discuter tous ensemble, de faire découvrir les coulisses à vos plus grands fans, de leur enseigner quelque chose de nouveau ou de discuter des sorties à venir. Chaque direct est accompagné d'une discussion qui vous permet d'interagir avec vos fans et de les laisser discuter entre eux, sans jamais changer d'application.
Directs accessibles avec un billet (bêta)
Nous offrons aux créateurs une nouvelle façon d'organiser des événements en direct accessibles à l'aide d'un billet, directement sur Patreon, depuis leur page de créateur. Nous avons hâte de vous voir créer ces moments uniques grâce à notre nouvelle fonctionnalité : les streams en direct accessibles avec un billet.
Avec les streams en direct accessibles avec un billet, vous pourrez :
- organiser des événements gratuits ou payants pour votre communauté :
- vendre des billets ou faire en sorte que vos abonnés aient directement accès aux événements ;
- streamer directement sur Patreon, et bénéficier d'options de rediffusion pour les personnes participantes ;
- centraliser votre public et vos revenus.
👉 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.

Partager votre direct
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.
Toute personne qui clique sur votre lien se retrouvera sur la page du compte à rebours en attendant le début de votre direct.
Après un direct
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.
Voici comment accéder à vos enregistrements :
-
- 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
- D'ici, vous pourrez :
- 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
-
- 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

Rediffusion de la discussion
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.
Hébergement des directs et limites de stockage
Limites de résolution
Les créateurs peuvent actuellement diffuser des streams en direct de 720p ou 1080p. Pour les membres, Patreon optimise automatiquement la résolution d'affichage pour les vidéos natives et le contenu diffusé en direct. Par défaut, les spectateurs profiteront d'une résolution de 720p, bien que celle-ci puisse être abaissée à 480p lorsque la résolution supérieure n'offre aucun avantage supplémentaire. Les spectateurs peuvent basculer manuellement vers des résolutions supérieures lorsqu'elles sont disponibles.
Instructions relatives au stockage et à la création de médias
- Draft content: Any recorded live sessions in draft status will be automatically deleted after 6 months
- Contenu publié : le contenu vidéo natif publié est stocké indéfiniment, conformément à notre politique en vigueur ;
- Limites de transfert mensuelles : pour éviter les abus et garantir une utilisation équitable de la plate-forme, les créateurs sont limités à 100 heures de médias par mois, à la fois pour les transferts vidéo natifs et les streams en direct. Cette limite s'applique tous les mois et est distincte des restrictions de transfert totales. Des exceptions peuvent être faites pour les nouveaux créateurs disposant déjà d'importantes bibliothèques de contenu ;
- Limites de transfert en l'absence de membres payants : pour éviter les abus et garantir une utilisation équitable de la plate-forme, les créateurs sans membres payants auront une limite de transfert totale de 100 heures. Cette limite passera à 100 heures par mois dès l'arrivée d'un membre payant ;
- Limitation à un stream : les créateurs ne peuvent pas diffuser en direct sur plus d'une publication simultanément, afin d'assurer une qualité de diffusion optimale ;
- Durée maximale d'un stream : les sessions de stream en direct individuelles sont limitées à une durée maximale de 12 heures de diffusion continue. Une fois cette limite atteinte, les créateurs doivent lancer un nouveau direct.
