How to add a co-host or guest to your Mixlr broadcast
Connect a remote co-host or guest directly into Mixlr Studio using the co-host feature.
The co-host feature in Mixlr Studio lets you connect a remote guest directly into your broadcast — whether that's a co-host joining from another location, a guest or or a caller from your audience. The person joining doesn't need to install any software; they can connect from a mobile or desktop browser as long as they have a microphone.

Co-host connection status
Once you've selected a co-host session in Mixlr Studio, their connection status is shown at the bottom of the input channel.
• Waiting… — the co-host has not connected yet
• Ready — the co-host has connected and is waiting to be admitted
• Reconnecting… — the co-host has a network issue; they will reconnect automatically once resolved
When the status shows Ready, select Admit to connect your co-host into Mixlr Studio. You can then control their audio just like any other input channel.
Note: Your co-host can hear all audio playing in the app — not just audio you are monitoring. Make sure you have a microphone set up so your co-host can also hear you.
To disconnect your co-host at any time, select Disconnect.
