The Community feature is available on the storefront for our Pro and Uscreen Plus plans. Community feature is also available for native mobile apps on iOS and Android.
Users can engage with the admin content as well as with each other in the Community. Uscreen customers with an active community see 2x more retention than Uscreen customers without an active community.
Admin Area
The admin area is the control room for your Community.
Your Uscreen community has 2 levels of access to manage:
Visibility: where you control who gets to see and browse your community.
Engagement: where you control who gets to interact in your community.
There are 3 groups of people to manage for your community:
Public: any internet users
Registered users: people with accounts to your platform (may or may not be paying).
Subscribers: active, paying members to your platform.
In the Admin area, you can:
Enable or disable your community features on the web and native apps.
Disabling a Community does not delete its content.
Adjust the visibility settings of the community content. It can be set to be visible to all users or only to the logged-in ones (regardless of their subscription status)
Besides controlling who can see community features, you can also control who can interact with your community between all registered users and active subscribers. You can also gate community engagement to active subscribers on select price plans.
