Broadcasting Extension for Flow-Flow Social Stream 1.6.0

The Broadcasting Extension for Flow-Flow Social Stream is a powerful add-on designed to boost engagement by allowing you to display your social media feeds in real-time "broadcasts."

While the standard Flow-Flow plugin creates beautiful social walls and grids, the Broadcasting Extension is specifically built for live events, digital signage, and high-traffic websites that need a continuous, "live" feel.

### Key Features

Live Updates: Automatically pushes new social media posts to the feed without the user needing to refresh the page.

TV/Digital Signage Mode: Optimized for fullscreen displays. It is perfect for displaying live social media walls at conferences, weddings, or in office lobbies.

Automatic Scrolling: Includes a "Smart Scroll" feature that moves the feed automatically, ensuring fresh content is always visible.

Custom Broadcast Layouts: Offers specific templates that are more "cinematic" and less "grid-like" than the standard social wall.

Moderation on the Go: Works with Flow-Flow’s moderation system, so you can approve or exclude posts in real-time before they appear on the broadcast.

### Common Use Cases

Events & Conferences: Displaying a live hashtag feed (e.g., #TechConf2026) on large screens behind a speaker.

Retail Stores: Showcasing customer "unboxing" photos from Instagram or TikTok in a shop window.

News Sites: Creating a "Live Updates" ticker or sidebar for breaking news from verified X (Twitter) accounts.

### How to Set It Up

Requirement: You must have the Flow-Flow Social Stream (Pro) plugin installed and activated first.

Installation: Install the Broadcasting Extension as a separate plugin.

Create a Stream: Go to your Flow-Flow dashboard and create a new stream or edit an existing one.

Enable Broadcast: Look for the "Broadcast" tab in the stream settings. Here you can enable the live-update functionality.

Copy Shortcode: Use the generated shortcode to place the live feed on any WordPress page (including those built with Elementor).

### Performance Tip

Because this extension creates a live "heartbeat" between your server and the browser, it can consume more resources than a static grid. If you are expecting thousands of simultaneous viewers, ensure your hosting is optimized or use a CDN to handle the constant data requests.

### Integration with Elementor

If you are using one of the Elementor Template Kits we’ve discussed (like Urban or Jeena), you can simply drop a Shortcode Widget into your layout and paste the Flow-Flow broadcast code. It will automatically inherit the "live" behaviors while fitting into your site's professional design.
