PostMyParty just keeps getting better.

We’ve released more updates to Virtual Pop-Ups, and these updates are focused on one big goal:

Helping you run smoother, more engaging parties with less extra work.

Virtual Pop-Ups have already been a huge success, and your feedback has helped us keep improving them quickly.

Here’s what’s new and now live inside PostMyParty.

🎥 New: Live Stream URLs for Virtual Pop-Ups

This is an exciting update.

Hosts can now add a Live Stream URL to their Virtual Pop-Up.

That means if you are going live using another tool, you can add your live stream link right inside the party.

You can use this with tools like:

✔ YouTube Live
✔ OneStream
✔ StreamYard
✔ Zoom
✔ Other live stream links you want to share with guests

This makes it easier for guests to know when you are live and where to go.

Even better, when the live stream starts, guests can receive a special notification that lets them know the host is live.

That notification is different from a normal post notification.

It is specifically for the live stream.

This helps grab attention and bring guests back to the party at the right time.

Why Live Stream URLs Matter

Live video can be one of the most powerful parts of an online party.

It gives you a chance to:

✔ Show products
✔ Answer questions
✔ Build trust
✔ Create excitement
✔ Help guests feel more connected
✔ Make the party feel more personal

But one of the biggest challenges is getting people to show up live.

The Live Stream URL feature helps with that.

Instead of hoping guests see a post or remember the time, they can get a clearer notification that the live stream has started.

That makes it easier for guests to jump in and watch.

This is especially helpful for:

✔ Zoom Parties
✔ YouTube Live Parties
✔ Product demos
✔ Launch parties
✔ Flash sales
✔ Host events
✔ VIP customer events
✔ Team trainings
✔ Q&A sessions

If live video is part of your party strategy, this update makes it easier to bring guests back into the action.

Stay Tuned: Besides this type of live streaming, we’re also working on built in native live streaming. So in the future, you’ll be able to livestream natively within the app, without having to rely on any third-party platforms.

🗓 New: Create Posts Before the Party Starts

Another helpful update is the ability to create posts before the party officially starts.

This gives you more control over your party setup.

Instead of waiting until the party start time to begin posting, you can now schedule content before Day 1.

This is helpful for setting the stage before the main party begins.

You can use pre-party posts for things like:

✔ Welcome posts
✔ Host introductions
✔ Party instructions
✔ How to turn on notifications
✔ How to add the party to the home screen
✔ Sneak peeks
✔ Giveaway rules
✔ Shopping links
✔ “Start here” posts

This helps guests feel prepared before the party begins.

Why Pre-Party Posts Are Helpful

A good party does not start with the first product post.

It starts with getting guests comfortable.

Pre-party posts help you welcome guests, explain what to expect, and make sure they know how to participate.

For example, you could schedule a post before the party starts that says:

“Welcome to the party! Take a minute to say hi, turn on notifications, and check out the shopping link at the top.”

That kind of post can help guests take action early.

It also gives them something to see when they first join the Virtual Pop-Up.

Instead of entering an empty party, guests can see helpful content right away.

That makes the experience feel more active, more helpful, and more organized.

➖ New: Choose “Minus Days” for Scheduling

To make pre-party posts easier, we’ve also added the ability to choose minus days when scheduling.

That means you can schedule posts before the official party start date.

For example:

• Day -2 could be two days before the party starts
• Day -1 could be one day before the party starts
• Day 0 or Day 1 could be when your main party content begins

This gives you more flexibility.

You can build a party flow that starts before the actual event.

That is great for warming up guests and getting them ready.

How You Can Use Minus Days

Here are a few simple ways to use minus days in your party templates.

Day -2: Invite and welcome

Use this day for:

✔ A welcome message
✔ A note from the host
✔ A quick “what to expect” post
✔ A reminder to add the party to the home screen

Day -1: Build excitement

Use this day for:

✔ Sneak peeks
✔ Giveaway instructions
✔ A fun question
✔ A reminder to turn on notifications
✔ A teaser for what’s coming

Party start day: Begin the main content

Use this day for:

✔ Product posts
✔ Demos
✔ Live stream reminders
✔ Shopping links
✔ Special offers

This makes the party feel more organized from the start.

It also gives guests more time to get involved before the main party begins.

⚡ New: Live Updates for Posts, Comments, Replies, and Likes

This is another big improvement.

Virtual Pop-Ups now have live updates for:

✔ Posts
✔ Comments
✔ Replies
✔ Likes

That means you do not have to refresh the page to see new activity.

When something new happens, it can show up automatically.

This makes Virtual Pop-Ups feel more active and more real-time.

Why Live Updates Matter

In an online party, timing matters.

If someone comments, replies, or likes something, you want to see it quickly.

You do not want to keep refreshing the page to check for updates.

Live updates make the party feel smoother.

They help hosts respond faster.

They help guests see new activity faster.

And they help the party feel more alive.

This is especially useful when guests are interacting during:

✔ Product demos
✔ Giveaways
✔ Live streams
✔ Flash sales
✔ Q&A posts
✔ Final call posts

When conversations update in real time, it is easier to keep the energy going.

📱 App Name Update: From “PostMyParty” to “Party”

We also made a small but helpful update to the app name.

The app now shows as “Party” instead of “PostMyParty.”

This makes the guest experience simpler.

When guests add the Virtual Pop-Up to their home screen, the app name is short, clear, and easy to recognize.

Instead of seeing a longer name, guests will see a simple app name that matches what they are joining:

Party

This can make it easier for guests to find and return to the party later.

Why This Small Change Helps Guests

The easier it is for guests to come back, the better.

If a guest adds the party to their home screen, they need to be able to find it quickly.

A short name like “Party” is easier to recognize.

It also feels more natural for guests who may not know what PostMyParty is yet.

They just know they joined a party.

So when they see “Party” on their home screen, it makes sense.

This small update helps make the guest experience cleaner and easier.

Virtual Pop-Ups Keep Getting Better

These updates are part of our ongoing goal to make Virtual Pop-Ups simple, familiar, and powerful.

And guests will see a cleaner app name when they add the party to their home screen.
