Walkthrough
Open live from feed or notification
Tap live badge on creator profile or home rail.
After open live from feed or notification, pause and confirm on-screen names, counts, and amounts match what you discussed in chat. Buea and campus circles often coordinate pickup at a familiar gate right after this step.
If the button is disabled, check connectivity or update the app — live, checkout, and invite flows need a current build from the store.

Help: FAQ index
After you finish
Log out and back in once if balances or invites look stale — sync can lag a minute after web checkout or large squad updates.
Share what worked with one friend in Buea or campus chat; friend-led discovery beats guessing from empty feeds.
