The "Community Live" feature allows you to host live streams directly within your community.
No need to use Zoom, Google Meet, or external links—everything happens within CrocoClick 🐊
Ideal for your workshops, group coaching sessions, important announcements, or masterclasses, CrocoLive keeps your members connected and engaged in your space.
What is the difference between "CrocoLive" (the software) and "Community Live Streams"?
There are two ways to host a live event in the CrocoClick universe:
👉 via crocoLive software,
👉 or via the Community Live feature
1. CrocoLive (the complete software)
This is a standalone software program that is fully integrated with CrocoClick and available as a paid option.
It allows you to organize real webinars, challenges, or large-scale marketing events.
Main features:
Creation of personalized registration pages
Integrated offer system (call-to-action, purchase button, etc.)
Interactive polls and live questions
Public and private chat, detailed message management
Advanced statistics (registrants, attendance rates, viewing time, etc.)
Professional webinar mode, designed for sales and conversion
Up to 500 simultaneous participants and 20 presenters
👉 In summary: CrocoLive = webinar/event tool, perfect for selling, training, or launching a product.
2. Community Live
This option is included in all CrocoClick plans—no additional modules are required.
It allows you to organize simple, collaborative live sessions directly within your community (similar to Zoom).
Key features:
Camera & microphone can be activated for members
Live chat with reactions and emojis
Screen sharing
Automatic recording and replay within the community
Collaborative mode (ideal for workshops, coaching, group discussions)
👉 In summary: Community Live = interactive tool for live exchanges with your members, without advanced marketing features.
💡TIP: If you have the CrocoLive option, you can host your CrocoLive directly on your community to get the best of both worlds! Find out how by reading our article "Broadcast your CrocoLive in your CrocoClick community."
3. Summary
👉 There are two ways to go live in the CrocoClick universe:
With CrocoLive software, for your professional events—webinars, challenges, masterclasses—with all the advanced options (offers, polls, statistics, public/private chat, etc.).
With the "Launch CrocoLive" feature integrated into CrocoClick Communities, for your internal sessions, workshops, or collaborative coaching, where members can activate their microphone and camera just like on Zoom.
These two options are complementary:
CrocoLive software focuses on conversion and staging.
Community live streaming focuses on human connection and small group interaction.
