Webcastcloud in-Build Video Chat
Webcastcloud Chat is an in-built chat client that displays within the webcastcloud Video Player for a Live Stream or Video On-Demand (VOD).
webcastcloud's in-built video player chat allows users to connect and communicate in real-time using the responsive chat box in a community style chat room.
Each Live Stream or VOD can have its own unique chat. Some of the most common use cases for chat include:
- Live Stream chat for virtual or hybrid event to connect your online viewers with your speakers or community
- Live webinar chat to connect webinar moderators with your audience
- For Virtual/Hybrid event exhibitors, allowing them to connect with online event attendees on their exhibitor video/virtual booth
- Simulated live events can use chat to receive and answers questions from the online audience
- OnDemand videos can continue to receive chat comments year-round, and see chat history from a live event
