Setting up recorded tarot sessions on Moonlight

We're excited to introduce you to our new feature: 15-minute recorded tarot sessions! This is a lower-friction way clients can book sessions with you, without needing to meet live or have their camera on. And helps clients get a feel for your reading style, before booking longer 1:1 sessions. Plus, you can record at your own convenience.✨

Here's a guide to walk you through the process of setting up and recording your first async tarot reading.

Or watch our 6-minute onboarding video.

Turning On Async Readings

Go to your availability tab.
Toggle on the "15-minute tarot session (async)" option.
Save your changes.
Your profile page now offers this service to clients!

Accepting the Booking Request

You'll get an email notification with the client's question.
Review and accept the request.
You'll then have 3 days to record the reading.

Opening the Recordable Moonlight Room

Access the recordable room link through 3 possible ways: the session details screen, your reminder email, or your sessions tab.

This link will open up a room with a record button at the bottom of the screen.

Preparing For Your Recording

Before you hit the record button, take a moment to set things up:

Choose your preferred background.
Select the tarot deck you want to use.
Prepare any spreads (blank or typed out) you want to use.
Type any other notes on the table (like the client's question).
Turn off computer notifications to avoid interruptions.

Note: I've customized the table for the client before starting the recording.

You can select any spread or go with a blank one to make your own.

When You Press Record:

Make sure you select the browser tab with your Moonlight room! You'll see a preview of it.

If you don't see a purple bar move, fix your audio settings so the correct microphone is connected.

⚠️ 1. Crucial steps:

Make sure you have a reliable internet connection.
Select the correct tab that shows your recording room.
Check your audio! Make sure your microphone is working. You should see a moving purple bar when you speak. If not, fix your audio settings.

Begin your reading!
- Welcome your client and segue into their question
- Do your own style of reading!
Keep an eye on the timer at the bottom of the screen. It will flash red when you're nearing the 15-minute mark.

To end the recording press the Stop & send button at the bottom of the screen.

Finishing Up The Recording:

As you wrap up you can thank your client and ask them to "Leave a review"!
When you're done, press "Stop & send"
That's it! The video will automatically be sent to your client.
You can watch it again in your sessions tab or in the link in your email.

Remember:

You get one chance to record. There's no do-over option, but this keeps things simple and authentic – just like an in-person reading.
The recording won't cut off exactly at 15 minutes, but try to stay close to this timing.
You'll receive a copy of the video after it sends.
