# Post announcements, events and live streams for your mosque - URL: https://abdohoo.app/help/salahlocator/post-announcements-and-events - Product: Salah Locator (https://sl.abdohoo.app) - Section: For imams & mosque admins - Updated: 2026-09-30 > In Manage Mosque, open Announcements, Events or Live Streams, tap + New, fill in the form and save. A new announcement or event that is published straight away notifies everyone who saved your mosque. To post news for your mosque, sign in, open **Manage Mosque** on the website (or **Profile → My mosques** and your mosque in the app), choose **Announcements**, **Events** or **Live Streams**, tap **+ New**, fill in the form and save. Posts appear on your public page straight away. A new announcement or event that is published when you first save it also notifies everyone who has saved your mosque, in the app and by email. ## Post an announcement on the website 1. Open **Dashboard → Manage Mosque** and choose the **Announcements** tab. 2. Tap **+ New**. 3. Write the **Title (English)** and **Message (English)**. Both are required. To add another language, tap its tab (العربية, اردو, Français and others) and write that version too. 4. Tick **Pin to top** to keep it above other announcements. 5. Leave **Published** ticked to post it now, or untick it to save a **Draft**. 6. Drag pictures into **Images**, or click to choose them. 7. Tap **Save**. In the list, each announcement shows **Pinned** or **Draft** where they apply, and its date. The pin icon pins or unpins it in one tap; **Edit** and **Delete** do what they say (you'll be asked to confirm a delete). Followers are notified only when a new announcement is published as you first save it. If you save a draft and publish it later, it appears on your page but sends no notification. ## Post an event 1. Choose the **Events** tab and tap **+ New**. 2. Enter the **Title** (English required) and a **Description**, in as many languages as you like. 3. Set **Starts at**, and **Ends at (optional)**. 4. **Location (defaults to mosque)**: leave it empty if the event is at the mosque. 5. If it will be streamed or recorded, paste a **Video / live URL** (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and similar). 6. Add pictures, leave **Published** ticked, and tap **Save**. Upcoming events appear under **Upcoming Events** on your page, each with an **Add to calendar** link visitors can use. ![A Salah Locator mosque page with section links for Prayer Times, Announcements, Events and Location below the next Iqaamah countdown](https://abdohoo.app/media/library/salahlocator/web-mosque-page.webp)Your announcements and events appear on the public mosque page, reached from the section bar.## Set up a live stream A mosque can have several streams, for example Jumuʼah and a weekly lesson. 1. Choose the **Live Streams** tab and tap **+ New**. 2. Give it a **Title** and paste the **Stream URL** (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and others). 3. Under **Availability**, choose **Always live**, or **Scheduled (time based)** and then the **Days** (leave all unticked for every day) and the **From** and **To** times. Times are in your mosque's time zone. 4. Keep **Active** ticked so it shows on your page, and tap **Save**. During a scheduled window, visitors see a **Live now** button and the player on your page; other times, the stream is listed under **Broadcast schedule**. YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo links play on the page; other links open as a **Watch** link. ## Do it from the app Open **Profile → My mosques** and tap your mosque. The management screen lists everything you can edit, including: - **Announcements**: tap **+** for **New announcement**, with **Title**, **Body**, **Pinned**, **Published** and **Add photos**. - **Events**: **Title**, **Description**, **Location**, start date and time, **Ends (optional)**, **Video or live-stream link (optional)** and **Published**. - **Live streams**: **Add a stream**, with **Title**, **Stream URL**, **When is it live?** (**Always on** or **Scheduled**), **Days**, **Start**, **End** and **Visible on the mosque page**. - **Cover photo**, **Photo gallery** (JPEG or PNG, up to 4 MB each) and **Committee**. Tap **View public page** to check the result as visitors see it. ## Keep it appropriate Visitors can report any announcement, event or photo, and moderators review reports under the site's content policy. Keep posts about your mosque and community, and only include a committee member's phone number or photo with their permission.

They see it in their Notifications and receive an email. Only new posts that are published when you first save them send notifications; publishing an old draft later does not. ### Can I write announcements in Urdu or Arabic? Yes. The website's forms have tabs for ten languages, including English, Arabic, Urdu, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Bengali, Persian and Hindi. English is required; visitors see the version in their language where you've written one. ### How do I stream Jumuʼah? Add a live stream with your YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo link. Choose Always live, or Scheduled with the days and the time window, and a Live now button appears on your page during that window. ### Can I keep an announcement at the top? Yes. Tick Pin to top when you write it, or tap the pin icon beside it in the list. Pinned announcements are shown first on your page.
