With Fan Club TV, your Fans can stay connected with you LIVE from work, home, or on the go. 


Fan Club TV is free and is designed to help Group Leaders broadcast and record their live events, publish vLog style video updates, and record group videos for upcoming fundraising campaigns and events in a single step.

Any Fan or Group Leader can broadcast any event for other Fans to watch and we’ll publish the name of the videographer, along with the date and time of each recording in order to maintain a high level of quality and accountability.


For privacy purposes, only Fans following your Group will have access to watch your events with Fan Club TV. Student / Parent specific updates can only be viewed by Fan Club Fundraising users that have registered as a Seller / Student or Seller / Parent. You can learn more about how we protect your privacy by reviewing our privacy policy and user terms.

All live videos are recorded using the YouTube API and can be found outside of the Fan Club Fundraising application on our YouTube channel under a playlist for your Group.


Broadcast a Live Event

Any Fan or Group Leader can broadcast your live events. For security reasons, you can not begin a live stream until 30 minutes before your event’s scheduled start time. If you want to record a pre-show for your event more than 30 minutes before your event’s start time, then please use the Fan Club admin to adjust your event’s start time.

While any Fan or Group Leader can start a live stream, we only support one simultaneous live stream at a time for a single event. You can record multiple back-to-back live streams for your the same event, but only one can be in progress at any given moment in time.

Here’s how to broadcast any live event:


Step 1: Download the Fan Club Fundraising app for iPhone or Android and join the Group you wish to follow.


Step 2: From the main menu, select Fan Club TV and choose “BROADCAST NOW.”

This page may take a few seconds to load as we pull in videos available for you.

Step 3: Select an eligible event and “GO LIVE.” Group Leaders must first select the “Broadcast an Event” video type. Please approve the use of your camera and microphone. 


Step 4: Find a great location for your video and hit “GO LIVE” before your event begins.

Please be patient as it will take up to one minute for us to configure your live stream.


Filming Tips


  1. Get to the event early so that you can grab a front row spot for your film.

  2. We require you to film in landscape mode because Fans could be watching your video on a 4” phone screen, 8” tablet, 15” laptop or 70” television.

  3. Use a tripod or handheld gimbal to keep your video steady, don’t try to hold the phone for the full event.
