Amplify — bring in posts and lives
With an Amplify subscription, pull posts and live streams shared by the main ESTAGE community into your own feed, and choose where they land.
Amplify brings content from the main ESTAGE community into yours: posts and live streams it shares appear in your feed as if they were posted there, so your members get them without leaving your community. Likes and comments stay with the original. Use it to keep your feed busy with ESTAGE content without posting it yourself.
Amplify is an add-on, under Settings → Add-ons → Amplify.
Before you start
- Hold an Amplify subscription on your own ESTAGE account. The tab only shows for people who have one.
- Be an admin, or hold the Amplify permissions in roles: View what can be shared, Bring in & sync content from another community, and Amplify settings.
Note
Your plan decides where you can use it. A single-community plan works in one community only — if it's already used elsewhere, the tab tells you which one ("Your plan allows Amplify in only one community"). An unlimited plan works in all of yours.
Bringing in posts
- Under Posts, choose Add new posts to — the channel of your community they land in (or the main feed).
- Either:
- type a post's share code into Add by share code (a short code of letters and digits), or
- switch on the posts you want from the list of shared posts.
Each imported post shows which channel it's in — pick another channel next to it to move it. Switch it off to take it out of your feed.
Bringing in lives
Under Lives:
- Auto-include all lives — every amplified live appears in your feed automatically, now and in the future.
- Or switch on individual lives from the list. Each shows whether it's Live now, Scheduled (with its time) or Recorded.
- Add new lives to picks where individually added lives land, and the channel next to an added live moves it.
Note
Lives brought in by Auto-include all lives always go to the main feed, whatever Add new lives to is set to.
Amplified lives play in your community, but the stream controls stay with the community that runs them.
Things worth knowing
- Imported posts can't be edited in your community — they belong to the original. Use Remove from my community on the post to take one out.
- Reactions and comments are shared. Your members' comments appear on the original post, next to everyone else's.
