Live Stream Features

Video MonetizationYou can earn revenue on live video by enabling ads and using Super Chat. Some channels have access to channel memberships.
MultistreamingMulti-stream means simultaneously live streaming to multiple channels. When you have a live event and want wide distribution, this kind of multi-stream is a great way to reach multiple audiences.
Multi-camera feedMulti-camera feed offers viewing with split screens or switching between multiple angles to make it more engaging. It can even be done with a single operator using fixed cameras or PTZ cameras.
HD Video StreamingHD stands for “high-definition.” HDTV displays television utilizing either progressive or interlaced scanning, widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio, and a resolution with either 720 or 1080 pixels of height. When you're live-streaming, HD can mean either 720p or 1080p.
Event SchedulingThe process of finding the right time for your event to take place and then scheduling it is called an Event schedule.
Broadcast RecordingA live broadcast, also called a live transmission, generally refers to various types of media that are broadcast without a significant delay.
Audience EngagementAudience engagement is the deliberate strategy of turning event attendees into active participants, in order to achieve the goals of both organizer and attendee.
Audience AnalyticsAudience analytics tracks your live event's stats in real-time. With it, you'll know how many people are watching, where they're watching from, what device they're watching on, and more.
Customizable BrandingBrands allow consumers to personalize both packaging and product. By allowing buyers to customize flavor, food form and even the actual packing design of products, brands are putting more power than ever before into the hands of the consumer, ultimately trusting them to create a meaningful experience.
Live ChatLive chat is a medium that allows the employees to interact with website visitors or with each other in real-time. It can be either text, voice, or video-based chat that team members can use to get in touch with each other to discuss or resolve any ongoing issues.
Video AnnotationsLive annotations can really make any video production come alive. This is a great way to add additional production value to your OBS presentations. Live telestration is often used in Sports instant replays.
Live PollingLive polls feature allows you to insert questions into your live stream for viewers to respond to via Live Chat. Polls can be used to gather feedback from viewers (answers ranked by percentage) or as a quiz (one option being the correct response).
Q&AA Q&A is the closest thing to a conversation in the social media space – a host answers questions asked by followers. Questions are usually asked by texts and answered by the host via video.
