🗂️ Working with an influencer or a prospect who isn't connected to ZoomSphere yet? Now you can still plan (and approve) content for them.

Say hello to Virtual Channels 🎉 – placeholder channels that behave just like real, connected ones, so planning and approvals never have to wait for an actual account.

Perfect for:

  • Approving influencer content – most influencers don't have their channel connected to ZoomSphere at all. Create a virtual channel for them, and you can review, comment on, and approve everything they send you before it goes live.
  • Pitching new clients – build and present a full content plan before a prospect has connected a single channel. Once they're on board, just connect the real account and the plan is ready to go.
  • Onboarding new teammates – let them practice on a safe channel where nothing can accidentally be published.
  • Prepping a launch – get a head start on a brand-new channel, like a TikTok that isn't live yet.

Virtual channels work in your Scheduler exactly like the real ones – captions, previews, content pillars, comments, approval statuses, all of it. Just remember: they will not publish.
