Study up on chat moderation
Before the live discussions, make sure you’ve done your homework. Read the book (obviously) but also be sure to check out YouTube’s chat moderation tools. Set who you want to have access to live chat, add any filters you see necessary and consider asking someone you trust to moderate the day of.
Go live
When the event starts, you can finally engage with comments, ask discussion questions to the chat and share your thoughts on that cliffhanger. Eligible creators also have the option to invite a guest to their live streams, which is great if you’re looking to co-lead the group or just get additional perspectives. If you’re lucky, maybe you can even get the author themselves to join a meeting and answer some questions!
Keep the conversation going with highlights
After the livestream, try sharing highlight clips so that anyone who wasn’t there can get caught up and keep the conversation going. When the discussion gets particularly interesting during your stream, add a stream marker. You can refer to these later in YouTube Editor, making it easy to identify and share all the best hot takes and funny moments from your meeting.
