1. Co-Streaming Use Cases
The co-streaming feature is suitable for a variety of live streaming scenarios, including daily interactions, AMAs, and roundtable discussions. Feel free to explore and unlock more content possibilities:
- Daily Q&A: Viewers can “raise their hand” with one click, and the streamer can respond in real time. Use voice to shorten the distance and make every interaction more lively and personal.
- Expert Roundtables: Multiple guests can stream simultaneously, offering diverse perspectives and in-depth insights. Streamers with overlapping audiences can gather, enabling efficient fan group exchanges.
- Live Market Analysis & Tutorials: During learning sessions or replay reviews, invite viewers to go on mic for demonstrations or Q&A. Co-streaming guidance makes teaching more effective.
- Hot Topic Brainstorms: Discuss industry trends with viewers on mic, plan activities, or do creative PKs, turning the live room into a co-creation stage.
- Fan-Exclusive Events: Host high-engagement, fan-only events. Invite core fans to share on mic, prepare prizes, and conduct draws to build a strong, loyal fan community.
