live chat in live events?

Copper Contributor

In LIVE event, the chatting is available AFTER the LIVE event ends.

Is there any plans to make chats live, as well as the stream?

Would be good to know as a live chat function is a must for our streams to have more interactivity. 

@Hopp-Art - Microsoft live events can be setup to be viewed in Yammer, Teams, or in Stream, depending on where you initiate the creation of the live event from. 

 

In terms of chat or conversations from the live event you'll want to use have your viewers in either Yammer or Teams to accomplish this.

 

If you create your live event from Yammer then the live event has the full Yammer conversation ability directly under the live event.

 

If you create your live event from Teams then you can choose to enable a "Moderated Q&A" option for the live event which allows the event producers to see questions that come in from viewers and choose to allow those questions to be posted to everyone or just answer back privately.

Stream itself for live events won't have any live chat/conversation at this point.

Live chat has become an essential feature for live events, enabling real-time interaction between organizers, presenters, and attendees. This two-way communication fosters engagement, enhances understanding, and creates a more immersive experience for all participants.

Organizers can utilize live chat to gather feedback, address questions, and gauge audience sentiment, allowing them to tailor the event accordingly. Presenters can leverage live chat to clarify points, address misconceptions, and engage in discussions, fostering a more interactive learning environment.

Attendees can use live chat to ask questions, share insights, and connect with fellow participants, transforming passive observation into active participation. This sense of community and shared experience enriches the overall event experience.

Live chat platforms offer various features to enhance its effectiveness, including moderation tools, sentiment analysis, and translation services. These capabilities ensure a safe, inclusive, and globally accessible environment for all participants.

Overall, live chat has revolutionized the way we engage with live events, fostering a dynamic and interactive experience for all stakeholders. Its ability to bridge the gap between organizers, presenters, and attendees makes it an indispensable tool for enhancing the effectiveness and appeal of live events. like wise alternative option is OnTheFly.stream, Vplayed ,Muvi
