Simply copy the full URL of the livestream.

Step 3: Add the Link to Your Shopify Page

Go to your Shopify admin panel

Perfect Uses for Livestreams on Your Shopify Store

Product launches: Stream new product reveals directly on your product pages
How-to demonstrations: Show customers how to use your products effectively
Live shopping events: Host interactive shopping sessions where viewers can purchase items as they watch
Behind-the-scenes content: Build brand authenticity by showing your workspace or production process
Q&A sessions: Address customer questions in real-time

Tips for Using Livestreams Effectively

Place livestreams strategically on relevant pages where they add genuine value
Add a brief description above the embed explaining what customers will see
Consider the loading time – one well-placed livestream will be more effective than multiple streams slowing down your page
Update expired livestreams with fresh content to keep your store current

By adding interactive livestreams to your Shopify store, you create a more dynamic shopping experience that can significantly increase time spent on your site and boost conversions.
