Next Steps

The invited user will receive an email from Switchboard Live. They should follow the steps in this support article -How to Accept a Team Member Invite

Tracking Invite Status

Once you press ADD, the team member's status will appear as "Unconfirmed" until they accept the invitation.

  • Action Required: The invited user must open the Switchboard Live email and set their password.

  • Tip: If the status remains 'Unconfirmed,' ask them to check their Spam folder for an email with the subject line: Switchboard Live | Create Account.

Once they complete the process, their status will update to "Administrator," and they can begin managing streams immediately.
