Bluesky @bsky.app · May 19 We’re testing a new feature! Starting this week, select accounts can add a livestream link to sites like YouTube or Twitch, and their Bluesky profile will show they’re live now.

This is an early test, so only a handful of accounts can go live on Bluesky right now. We’re announcing this publicly so you know what we’re working on, even though the feature is not widely available yet. We'll refine this feature based on feedback before a full launch to all users.
Please give us a Canada tab so it is easier to find posts we want.
How about an 'edit' button?
Yesss please oh my gosh, I would *love* this feature!! Amazing. If you need more volunteers to test it out, I volunteer as tribute!!! 😆
OMG
OOOH this is MASSIVE I love this a lot
Please!
Can I be one? 👉👈
can you test this on me :)
oh shit?
How about something useful for the regular users?
You're doing really good work for such a small business. Glad to see you're working so hard to add new features and improvements.
Oooh neat. Do have a stream later today and do hope I can try it out.
Cool can we get private accounts now
We asked for the ability to lock our accounts and yall are doing everything but that.
I know my opinion doesn't mean much but instead of trying to be like other sites, just be bluesky. I'm still new so I'm not sure what staying true would look like.It's a thought. I'd like an edit button & something that would allow me to read an article w/o going to the website where I have to pay.
Love this! Drafts next please 🥹🙏🏼
this is honestly such a cool feature, I'm rarely hawking twitch so it's cool to see from here if someone is live or not
Might be nice for art demos ...
Why not make gifs work after this ? 😉
hello bluesky i would like to have this capability on my account thank you i love you
I love this!
Maybe you should try testing a new feature of LETTING PEOPLE UPLOAD GIFS!
🤗👍💙
I'd use this. Sometimes my youtube streaming is a bit like blueskying: that's a natural match.
Where is the little +sign on the profile pic?
How to i make live
This seems like a good idea and would love to use it once it's widely available.
Hey @bsky.app - timing seems perfect if you’re looking for test accounts 👀
oh - should I go live?
You spend time and money on helping broadcasters etc. but STILL NO IPAD APP??????????????????????????
This is fantastic. Thanks Bluesky 😊
How is this a thing before group chats or bookmarks 💀
YES another useless option I don't even care
Ok I really want this lol
So how do we know if our account is selected?
“Select accounts”? I realize the caveat, appreciate the caution too, but who’s deciding who’s on?
What do I do here?
Beautiful….can’t wait…#God is here👏🇬🇭🇺🇸
This looks awesome! Assuming it ends up staying, will it be available to all accounts, or will there be a vetting/application process to qualify for access to it?
Oooo @tugboet.com @zeldangerous.bsky.social @phrebh.bsky.social @thebopper.bsky.social and all the other folks who stream
please give us private accounts and bookmarks
YES! PLEASE THIS IS SUCH A COOL FEATURE!!
How about photos in chat?
This is pretty cool! I can't wait for this to roll out.
@giantbomb.bsky.social Seems like a good account to enable this on
Excellent 👍
Omg please!
So.... can we get in on that? Cuz we're live 23 hours and 59 minutes a day at twitch.tv/yarpbot. Granted it's a status page but y'all need a control, right?
Can you make it so if you upload a gif from your photos it actually animates
Oh. This would be cool to have.
Nice!
community notes when
Love this !!
This is PHENOMENAL
Meanwhile, you can't even add basic features privacy features/filtering and advanced searching. Proving again your platform is dying. People are either returning to X or joining Zuckerberg on Threads.
PLEASE Schedule posts and subscribing to post notifications from users next!
As a streamer, this is kinda dope As a social media memester, I'd still like the ability to natively post gifs from my phone
Would this feature be available for other providers NSFW like Live chaturbate performers so people know I'm live on chaturbate
@halsparks.com YAY!
This is lovely! If I may suggest being able to organize your posts in your profile and a "reposts" & "posts" tab on profiles as well? Since I keep having to scroll endlessly to see someone's posts.
Edit goddamn button fuck!
bro you gotta give me the hook up!
Neat. I don't feel alive, but my account can. Which is nice.
Please. Fix. GIFs. Thanks. 🙏🏽
What happened to the translate function? I have to copy and paste the text to translate now?
How about bandcamp ?@feedart.bsky.social
Okay this is awesome! Please do this!
How about linking to a platform with the same function(ality) that neither #ElonMusk nor $GOOGL owns?
That's great now add pics and gifs to DMs.
Cool, now bluesky just needs to add on group chats, and personal clips, I heard that ig maybe up for sale 🤔
Yesss thank you for this!
yes please, pick me! 🙋🏻♂️
Good. Now can you add like a special thing for updates so whenever I click on the 🦋 I get redirected to the saod updates page so I can see what's ne
I’m a live performing musician, I’d love to test out this feature!! 🤩🎵
damn, while twitter is punishing people for posting links, bluesky is actively encouraging people to click off to a different platform if itll help creators
Can we have notification when an account post ? It is the only thing I need to follow news. Just a push notification when an account of my choice post something.
one word: BOOKMARKS
Give us bookmarks already 😭
BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS
That sounds like an exciting update for content creators! It's great to see Bluesky embracing live streams—can't wait to catch some epic gaming sessions from EchoFlare. Hope this feature helps everyone connect in real time!
I'm really looking forward to this! Will help me know if at a glance if my friends are still live or not. 😊
PLEASE ADD BOOKMARKS AND THE ABILITY TO EDIT POSTS
features that can wait. Just give the people private accounts and the ability to make our likes public. Also fix the phantom followers bug.
This is really nice! 👍
Love this!
Oooh!
Whoa, this is cool!
Oooo, do that for the Meidas touch network and Legal AF,oooo. So many informative online independent left wing media outlets that could have this feature! Great idea Bluesky!!!
Love this 🔥👏
Nice
nice for streamers and all BUT BOOKMARKS, PRIVATE ACCOUNTS AND POLLS PLEASE
I would love this
What about a fvcking edit button!
This is cool...😎
Great .. now can we have an edit option … asking for the lot of us ‼️😳
Fantastic! Because what the world truly needs right now is another platform to watch my neighbor's cat play Jenga live. Can't wait.
Because that's what the world needs - more ways to watch somebody else play video games. I guess it’s farewell fresh air, it was nice knowing you!
Would love access to this! :D
That would help my YouTube channel
@jeffjarvis.bsky.social we need this for IM
EMBEDDED VIDEOS PLSSSSS 😭😭😭😭😭
Y'all are killin' it 🤩👏🏽👍🏽
Private accounts when!!
That sounds great!! Thank you!
BIG NEWS????
this is cool but when are we going to get searchable dms, group dms, and images in dms
I would love this feature
We want bookmarks, message editing and a remove follower option!!!
The only thing I miss fro Twitter is the quality of their images and photos. Can it be improved upon?
Y'all this app barely works anymore. Or atleast for me, even tho I'm on the newest version. The new update actually made it worse. Comments and account pages take a long time to load, and Liking and Retposting barely works at all because it'll be really slow and doesn't even take the action.
WHERE DO WE APPLY?!
I want invite love testing new features.
That's.... Actually really cool and useful! :D
Congrats Chief for you being able to meet the mermaid in the harbor! Have a nice day.
bro just add group chats already wtf
We need list maintenance!
This is such fantastic news! Thank you @bsky.app for listening to your community and developing this amazing site!
Select All and Copy FUNCTION! USED IT ALL THE TIME!
Niiiiiiiiiiice!
ni life stream ni ostias donde estan los circulos verdes/los post para mejores amigos
Would love an option for @mixcloud.bsky.social streaming as well if possible.
How about something for the common man like bookmarks of text edit.
BSKY WIN
HUGE (ok now add bookmarks outside of the pin feed)
Love it
NO SERIOUSLY YOU BET YOUR ASSES WE NEED THIS PLEASEEEE
private accounts please, we're begging
Where can I apply for an official Blue Sky account and what are the requirements?
Love it! Much needed too.
I'd so love access to this new feature 🙂
please all I want is a private account oh my god
cant wait for more people (me) (+others as well) to get access to this!
As an affiliate Twitch streamer! Fuck yeah! :)
That's nice and great...but, what we REALLY want desperately is an "Edit" button. Please...and thank you.
Oh dang! This is awesome!
this is infinitely better than what twitter has with their whole stream ON twitter thing
Thank you... That is a great feature.
Goddammit, edit button! E-D-I-T B-U-T-T-O-N Please!
This sounds pretty exciting ngl
Excellent! Love this!
Edit button & drafts bro 😭
Hello! Pick me and I’ll send you guys free Klondike bar 😂
That sounds awesome!
Can you set desktop videos to play at 50% volume instead of 100%?
totally wanting this on my account
Bookmarking and an app that fills the screen in landscape on an iPad would be much appreciated. 🤞🙏
Oh wow great work! I’d love to get in on this
Nice 🙂
Okay, well I'm a femboy and I want to be one of the selected accounts. I demand it. I need the attention. *stamps my little femboy foot*
Stop suspending verified and vetted Gazans from BlueSky. You keep getting rid of my friends. I'm sick of it.
Hey, @bsky.app - Why are BlueSky messages called 'Skeets'? I get it's a portmanteau of sky and tweet but a millibar sounds much better. 'I'm just posting a skeet to BlueSky' vs 'I'm just posting a millibar to BlueSky'
Push notifications for selected users you want to be notified when they post would be nice
GIVE US BOOKMARKS ALREADY
That will be great in the long run, especially for me as a streamer.
Just do media in messages. Please.
please please disable reposts from accounts
💜👀
Can you add Desktop Notifications?
How do you sign up for the testing?
Amazing !
I’ll echo what others have said; edit feature is sorely needed.
can i just turn on notifications for posts from people i follow? and when i get a notification in regards to a post, can i actually go to that post by tapping the notification?
👀
Are you done with the test? Can you bring back the + button now?
YES. That's such a time saver! That and I don't always feel like or want to post going live notifications every time.
