How it works for you

Create your expert profile

Sign up and apply for expert access. Write a short bio, describe your background and approach, and set the terms for private sessions. We review every expert application to maintain platform trust.

Go live — from your browser or OBS

When you're ready, click "Go Live." Your camera comes on directly in the browser — no additional software required. Power users can connect OBS or any RTMP streaming software for professional setups. You'll appear live on the SovaTalk homepage immediately.

Accept private session requests from viewers

While you're live, people watching can send you a private session request. You review it and decide whether to accept. Accepting opens a private video room between you and that person — separate from your public stream.

Requirements

We keep the bar simple but firm:

✓You must be a real human being — no AI personas, voice changers, or avatars.
✓You must appear on video during live sessions — audio-only is not permitted.
✓You must treat viewers with dignity and respect at all times.
✓You must not engage in any form of exploitation, boundary violation, or harmful conduct.
✓You must know your scope and refer to 988 or emergency services when a situation exceeds it.
