Running a Collab Stream

A collab stream brings another creator into your stream so both creators broadcast together. Tips, tip menu items, and PPV unlocks split between the two creators based on how the collab is set up.

Why collab

Audience cross-pollination. You expose each creator's audience to the other.
Higher tip volume. Two creators on screen often pull 2–3x the tips of one.
Easier content. Two people = chemistry, banter, less burden on a single creator to fill silence.
New subscribers. Fans of the visiting creator often subscribe to the host afterward.

How to set up

Both creators must agree to collaborate — Fansit will invite the other creator to a collab session.
From the host's profile, tap Go Live → Collab.
Search for and invite the second creator.
The second creator gets a notification and accepts.
Set the revenue split — defaults to 50/50, can be adjusted (60/40, 70/30, etc.).
Both creators see the stream from their own dashboards.
Tap Go Live together.

How tips and earnings split

When the collab is active:

Tips sent during the stream split based on the agreed percentage.
Tip menu items split the same way.
PPV unlocks during the stream split the same way.
Fans see the collab badge but don't see the split percentage.

Co-Authored Content Policy

Collab streams are governed by the Co-Authored Content Policy. Key points:

Both creators must be verified Fansit creators.
The Stream Recording (if enabled) is published under both creators' profiles.
Both creators are jointly liable for the content of the stream.

Best practices

Plan a structure. Open with introductions, do a tip menu segment, do interactive content, close with a CTA.
Cross-promote in advance. Both creators announce the collab on their profiles 24–48 hours before.
Use joint tip menu items. "Both wave hi — 100 FB" or "[Creator A] does X for [Creator B] — 500 FB."
Don't compete on screen. Collabs work because of chemistry, not because one creator is winning. Lift each other.

Stream Recording for collabs

Auto-recording is on by default for collab streams. The recording becomes a Stream Recording owned jointly by both creators — either creator can publish it as PPV with the same revenue split.

What goes wrong

One creator no-shows. Reschedule. Don't try to host solo if the collab was promoted as a duo.
Audio issues. Test in advance. Mismatched audio levels destroy collab streams.
Awkward chemistry. Better to cancel a planned collab than push through bad chemistry that kills both audiences' engagement.

Collab vs Battle

A collab is two creators working together. A battle is two creators competing against each other for tips. Both have their place — see Stream Battles for the competition format.
