Vagaro Live Stream enables you to participate in remote services, classes, or appointments. You can book these remote services from the Vagaro App, Vagaro.com, or via social media for any class or service with a live stream option. Choose between booking one-on-one sessions with your service professional or joining a live-stream class remotely.
Vagaro Live Stream is fully automated and allows you to easily join a live stream from anywhere. Once your live stream session is booked, you will receive an automated confirmation containing a link to join the live stream. If the date or time is changed or the live stream session is canceled, Vagaro will notify all participants.
