Invite guest speakers
- 01
What guest speakers are for
A guest speaker is an external person who joins a broadcast as a speaker without an OpenBooth account. They open a token link, allow their microphone, and can speak live once the host puts them on air. They appear in the participants list.

Create an invitation
In the channel open
Contributors → Invite guest speaker. OpenBooth generates a token link under/speak/[token]. Validity can be set between 1 and 30 days. Default is 7 days.- The link is single-use. After the first join, the token expires automatically.
- You can revoke a link any time before it has been redeemed.
- 03
Share the link
Heads up
Send the link only to the intended speaker (email, chat, DM). Anyone who knows it can join (once) as a speaker. If you suspect a leak, revoke the invite and create a new link. - 04
Bring the speaker on air
Once the speaker has opened the link and allowed their microphone, they appear in your participants list. Use the mute toggle to unmute them so listeners hear them. Use the same toggle to take them off air without removing them from the studio.
