Hey, everyone! The Threadcast is one of our most exciting features. It was requested by the community, and we listened. It's a thread that updates every five seconds, allowing for a live chat experience. It's accessible to everyone and very easy to set up.
In this clip:
- A Threadcast is a live chat feature on Threads
- Everyone can set up a Threadcast
- Threadcasts created by premium accounts get promoted to the top
- All you need to create a Threadcast is to add the tag #threadcast to your main thread
Threadcasts allow for live conversations while on Threads. They are used in different ways by the community; some are conversations about specific topics, while others act like chat-rooms for spaces and other live events, like premieres or sports.
To set up a Threadcast, all that is needed is to use the hashtag #threadcast on a main thread. You can write what the Threadcast is about, at what time it will start, or any information you think the community should know to join you. Use the hashtag, properly spelled, anywhere in the thread, and the features that make it a Threadcast will be immediately activated: auto-refreshing and showing the most recent reply first.
Everyone can set up a Threadcast, but for them to be promoted to the top of the page, the account creating it must be premium. The Threadcast feature is basic, but the promotion is a premium feature. All comments on a threadcast can be supported by the community with upvotes. It's a great way to interact, have fun, and earn.
