圈出需要避免的常见错误

错误一：发布时创建过多空间

Mistake #2: Skipping the Welcome Message Setup

Mistake #3: Ignoring the Pricing Plan Transaction Fees

圆圈故障排除

问题：会员无法访问某些空间

原因： Space permissions are set to private or invite-only, blocking community access for new members.

使固定： Go to the space settings, check permissions, and adjust visibility. Make sure the right community platform roles have access.

Problem: Live Streams Not Starting

原因： Browser permissions are blocking camera and microphone access for live streams.

使固定： Check your browser settings and allow camera and microphone permissions for circle.so. Try a different browser if the issue persists.

问题：自定义域无法连接

原因： DNS records haven’t propagated yet or CNAME records are configured incorrectly.

使固定： Double-check your DNS settings and wait up to 48 hours for propagation. Contact Circle support if it still doesn’t connect.
