The Challenge: A chat room that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of online users flawlessly
Along with the big comeback after the pandemic, the organizers of the CES Tech 2023 event have decided to integrate a live chat feature alongside the online live stream in order to reach a wider audience globally.
The chat room needs to facilitate online communication and engagement between attendees, exhibitors, and speakers – that’s around 180,000 online attendees actively participating in the live chat simultaneously.
From a developer’s perspective, the ability to accommodate a large number of chat users is contingent on the infrastructure and technology employed to host the chat room.
Factors such as server capacity, bandwidth, and network infrastructure are crucial in determining whether or not the chat room can handle a high number of users without experiencing lag. Additionally, the volume and frequency of messages being sent also play a role in the chat room’s performance.
The Solution: Using RumbleTalk Chat to accommodate thousands of live chatters while seamlessly blending into the event live stream
The event organizers chose to use RumbleTalk Chat for its comprehensive set of features, including the ability to create multiple chat rooms, send multimedia files, and hold one-on-one private chats and video calls.
Here’s a rundown of how RumbleTalk Chat was utilized during the event:
4 Group Chats for 4 Channels
The CES 2023 has four digital channels, all featuring the use of the RumbleTalk Social Chat room embedded into the Intrado event platform. This allowed online viewers to engage in group discussions while watching the show live.
The event organizers also used the chat function to send live polls, keeping the virtual audience engaged and interactive throughout the event. Additionally, they provided multimedia files such as brochures and demo videos for the audience to access.
Thousands of Private Chats for Exhibitors
CES used 3,200+ RumbleTalk Private Chats, one for each of their exhibitors. These Private Chats provided a space for one-on-one conversations between exhibitors and potential clients or business partners.
The private chat rooms also allowed exhibitors to handle inquiries and confidential proposals and make the interaction more personal through the use of video or audio calls.
Live Polls for the virtual audience
One of the standout moments of the event was the keynote speech by a prominent tech industry leader. The speaker used the live polls feature in the chat to gather real-time feedback from the audience and answer questions in a Q&A session.
This interactive aspect of the speech helped to engage the audience and foster a sense of community among attendees.
Customized design with a powerful chat capacity
The chat rooms used CSS customization to seamlessly blend the design with the layout of the event. Making it sit perfectly beside the live stream without being a huge distraction to the viewers.
Along with the look, we also took care of functionality and performance. RumbleTalk chats are designed to handle large volumes of messages and video calls simultaneously – in this case, hundreds of thousands of chat users, allowing for smooth and efficient operation of both the group and private chats.
