Vagaro Live Stream enables you to attend and participate in remote services and classes from any location. You can book these appointments in the Vagaro customer app or on the web by visiting the Vagaro Listing Page of businesses that offer live stream sessions. Depending on the business, service, or class, you may be able to choose between booking one-on-one sessions with a service provider or joining a class remotely.
Classes or services available for live streaming are identified by the Live Stream icon. For classes, the number of open spots is also displayed.
Businesses might also charge a different price for live stream sessions than at their location. For classes, you can compare their prices by selecting the Information icon beside the class name.
