# SMS notifications

Register and receive a text notification when the live is about to start

When a live is planned, viewers can register with their mobile phone and receive a notification when the live starts.

Activate this option when creating or editing a live.

You can customize the sender ID that viewers will see when receiving the text message (not available in the US) and then enter the content of the text.&#x20;

Text messages are limited to 160 characters. Don't forget to insert the live link by clicking 'Insert the live link".

If you use a URL shortener, please include the "o=s" at the end of the live URL to track how many viewers joined the live using this link.
