There’s a slight change to the way you take part in Pop-Ups, starting this Sunday.
On the Vote page, there are now two embedded video players.
* The big one at the top of the page shows the live transmission of Pop-Up Submissions as it's broadcast on YouTube. This is where you’ll watch Pop-Ups as it’s broadcast live – but it won’t start until the top of the hour, 5pm UK / 12 noon Eastern / 4am Wellington etc. The Genius Room pre-show will no longer be part of the YouTube live stream. This will avoid any need to put the show through YouTube’s post-show editing/mangling machine that's caused us a lot of problems.
* Further down the page, you’ll now see another player. It’s quite small (if you’re on a desktop) but you can actually “pop-out” the player and make it any size you want. This streams the live pre-show (from Twitch, in fact). This is just for Genius Room members and starts about 30 minutes before the main show (4:30pm UK).
The live pre-show stream automatically stops when the main YouTube stream starts, so have them both open and playing and you won’t miss anything!
Please ask me if anything isn’t clear.
