How to watch a Pinterest TV episode
As many of you know, I frequently host a live Pinterest TV episode about various topics related to home: home decor, renovation, and organization. It’s a great opportunity to interact with the community, share helpful tips, and give space for questions.
We have a great time over on Pinterest TV! So, if you want to join in on the fun, here are specific directions on how to watch one of my Pinterest TV episodes! Specifically, Iβll show you how to:
- Sign up for notifications for my next Pinterest TV episode via Pinterest
- Sign up for notifications if youβre subscribed to the Hello Home, Girl! newsletter
- Join the episode live
- Watch the replay
Letβs do it!
Firstβ¦whatβs Pinterest TV?
Pinterest TV is a platform where creators host 30 minute to one hour long episodes about DIY, beauty, home, wellness, fashion, food, and more.
Most episodes are hosted live which means you can interact with the host in the moment! Some episodes are pre-recorded footage, but hosts still frequent the chat to answer any questions.
Moreover, Pinterest TV allows for an in app shopping experience. Hosts often share links to the products that they discuss. So, if you see something cool that youβd like to pick up for yourself, Pinterest TV makes it super easy for you to purchase!
Why I love Pinterest TV
I love hosting Pinterest TV episodes because of the human interaction. I love feeling helpful by sharing bite sized tips. Additionally, I find that people are less afraid to ask questions and more eager to seek clarification in the Pinterest TV format (even more than here on the blog)!
Lastly, Pinterest is a very positive platform filled with a supportive and inquisitive community. They are seeking answers to their questions, and Iβm there to provide answers!
Should I watch it on desktop or in app?
Before I show you specifics, be aware that you can watch Pinterest TV on both desktop and via the Pinterest app. However, itβs best to watch episodes on the Pinterest app.
Particularly, you canβt browse the upcoming episodes beyond a couple of days on desktop, and some of the episodesβ features are not as interactive on desktop. Therefore, I highly recommend watching on the Pinterest app.
Iβll show all instructions via the Pinterest app. (I use an Android, but the IOS instructions should be very similar).
How to find sign up for notifications for my next Pinterest TV episode via Pinterest
- When you open the Pinterest app, tap the TV icon in the top left corner.
- Under βBrowse upcoming episodes,β scroll through the dates until you see my name.
- Tap the bell to receive notifications. The bell will turn into a check mark.
On the day of my episode, youβll get a notification of the episode 30 minutes before and at the time of the episode! Now you wonβt miss the live broadcast.
How to sign up for notifications if youβre subscribed to the email newsletter
To be the first to find out when I have an upcoming Pinterest TV episode, sign up to my email newsletter! Youβll also receive notifications when I publish a new blog post here on the blog as well.
I usually send out episode notifications about 1-2 weeks prior to an episode to give you plenty of time to sign up for notifications.
- Open my Pinterest TV episode email. My Pinterest TV episode email usually looks something like this:
- You can click either the picture of the button beneath the picture to open my episode.
- Tap the bell to receive notifications. The bell will turn into a check mark.
How to watch a Pinterest TV episode live
