¶ Live Stream with Chat (A Customer Success Story)
Revision date: 28/jul/2023
Vizzi version: 1.14.0
Through the usage of Vizzi’s API is possible to develop a multitude of end-user frontends with a rich feature set.
Here, we will show you one of those resources that makes live events more interactive, increasing audience engagement and the number of attendees and consequently providing a memorable experience for attendees.
Our client has recurring live events and asked us to adapt their white label frontend by adding a chat so attendees can interact with each other and the presenters. Additionally, it needed to support up to 3,000 simultaneous participants, and event administrators should be allowed to delete specific chat messages and ban users entirely. For banned users, our client must be able to specify how long the ban lasts in hours.
¶ Let’s see how it was implemented
To set up this scenario, our client will add the Live Stream with all the pertinent data like posters, thumbnails, metadata, and so on:
To keep things simple, we have automated the configuration flow as much as possible so that, in addition to the Live Streams, the customer only needs to configure a Virtual Screen to define the owner and co-owners of the event:
That way, there is no need to define the template, as there is only one, the chat add-on, nor to select in which content the chat will appear, as we already know it will always be in all live events.
And that’s all! The result on the frontend is that as soon as someone joins a live, the chat will be displayed on the right:
For the owner and co-owners to delete a message, they only need to select it and click the trash can icon at the top of the chat:
To ban a member, they will open the list of members in the upper right corner of the chat, select the one to be deleted, and click on the BAN button in the footer:
Once this is done, they will be able to define for how many hours this member will be banned from the chat:
This is just an example of the power that Vizzi’s white label frontend can bring to our clients, as it is highly customizable with each client’s branding and business models.
