Before you open the doors
Every room starts with a picture. Queue something from your own library — a movie or series file streamed straight from your computer — or drop in a link from YouTube, Twitch, Kick, or another supported platform. Multiplex locks playback to the frame for every seat, so it doesn't matter where the source lives; what matters is that you've picked it before anyone shows up.
Next, decide who gets in. A public room lands on the marquee where anyone browsing live rooms can find and join it. An invite-only room stays off that list entirely — the only way in is your six-character code. Either way, you can layer on a password: guests need the code and the password to get past the door, useful for private premieres or a regulars-only night.
Your room, your look
On Marquee and Studio, your room gets a page of its own: custom marquee art for the banner, a bio your followers can read before they join, and a running schedule if you keep one. Once you've claimed a room page, you also get a permanent room code — it doesn't rotate or expire between screenings, so you can print it, pin it, or hand it out once and reuse it forever.
Sharing the code
The six-character code is the entire invite flow. There's no app to install and no account for guests to create — they type the code into any browser and they're in their seat. That simplicity is the whole point: send the code in a group chat, drop it in a stream overlay, or read it out loud, and everyone watching has exactly what they need.
Growing your audience
Followers are how a room grows past word of mouth. Anyone can follow your page with one tap, and the moment you open your doors, followers get a knock — a notification that your room is live right now. Between screenings, keep your room code visible wherever your audience already hangs out: stream bios, community posts, group chats. The code doesn't change, so it's safe to post it once and let people find their way back.
Running a clean show
A host can mute or remove a disruptive guest at any point, no explanation owed to the room. If something needs a closer look, the in-room report tool sends details straight to Trust & Safety without breaking the show. On Studio, you can also bring on co-hosts and a moderation crew — extra hands with the same controls, so the room stays orderly even when you're focused on the picture instead of the chat.
Reading the booth
Studio hosts get the booth: a breakdown of attendance, watch time, and rewatch stats after every screening, so you can see which nights actually land with your audience. See the booth for the full breakdown of what's tracked.
Getting paid
Tips can land during any live screening, and Studio hosts can additionally sell tickets to premiere events. Hosts keep 90% of both, paid out every Friday. Read payouts for exactly how that money moves.
