Step 4: Configure Media Share Settings
Now it’s time to configure the settings for your media share feature. You can adjust various options to customize how viewers interact with your stream.

- Max Time Duration of Media: Set a time limit on how long each piece of media can play.
- Spam Security: Blerp offers a customizable spam security slider that filters shared media based on popularity. This helps ensure that only high-quality, legitimate content is submitted to your stream. You can adjust the security level from Off to Very High, depending on your preference.
- Off: No security filtering (all media is allowed).
- Low: Content must have 5k+ views (YouTube/Twitch) or 10 likes/3 comments (TikTok/Instagram/X).
- Medium: Content must have 40k+ views (YouTube/Twitch) or 250 likes/30 comments (TikTok/Instagram/X).
- High: Content must have 300k+ views (YouTube/Twitch) or 1000 likes/100 comments (TikTok/Instagram/X).
- Very High: Content must have 900k+ views (YouTube/Twitch) or 10,000 likes/300 comments (TikTok/Instagram/X).
Step 5: Share Bleep With Your Viewers
To allow your viewers to interact with the media share feature, you need to share your viewer link with them. This link connects them to the web extension, where they can submit media to your stream.
- Find Your Viewer Link: You can find your viewer link either from My Dashboard or by navigating to Settings > Universal Extension.
- Share Your Viewer Link: Use a timed chat bot to automatically share your viewer link with your community during your stream.
- Encourage Viewer Interaction: Remind your viewers that they can use the link to share sounds, videos, and other media directly on your stream.
Step 6: How Viewers Can Share Sounds
Once your viewers have access to your viewer link, they can easily interact with your stream by following these steps:
- Visit Your Viewer Link: Viewers can visit your viewer link to redeem sounds, videos, or other media that you’ve set up for sharing. This link is essential for allowing them to submit content to your stream.
- Install the Blerp Web Browser Extension: Viewers can install the Blerp browser extension to interact with the media share feature. This extension is available for popular web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. After installation, they’ll be able to access the extension directly from your stream’s chat.
