Do you have trouble connecting with your live audience? Perhaps distractions enter the picture, and you notice your participants gradually dissociating? Notice a lack of physical cues in online forums, which often leads to misunderstandings? Yes, we are aware that virtual communication has flaws. It can be difficult to make genuine connections in today’s digital age. We can easily obtain information online, but it is extremely difficult to engage emotionally. As a result, RumbleTalk has thoughtfully designed a high-quality streaming chat to make your next live stream more enjoyable and interactive. Once you’ve maximized the potential of the streaming chat, you’ll realize that interacting with a live audience is not that hard after all.

Here are streaming chat features to instantly turn your live stream captivating.

Using polls to engage your live audience in the streaming chat

Real-time audience interaction is facilitated by polls. It enables you to host live online interactive events, classes, or conferences with live audience feedback.

In addition to encouraging users to participate and provide feedback on a topic, you can help them remember the topic by personalizing the look of your poll based on the theme. It can also be as simple as assigning a star rating or asking several questions. To actively keep your participants engaged, it’s best to use the poll feature every 15 minutes or so.

With the Moderated Chat, you have complete control

One of Rumbletalk’s key features is the Moderated Chat, which allows for simple moderation. You can designate an administrator to manage the group chat and perform tasks such as the following:

• Screening incoming messages before they go live
• Restricting or blocking of spammers and trolls
• Modify the chat type
• Export transcripts
• Block profanity or competitors’ names

To increase your virtual presence, change your chat type to Moderated Chat. This is a customer-centric approach to building healthier communities.

Using Q&A to establish two-way communication

Another tool for making your audience feel as though they are a part of the conversation. Question and answer sessions are more useful in hybrid meetings and virtual events because they allow everyone to participate. By soliciting their questions, comments, and feedback, they will begin to feel more valued and will remain focused as you respond to their inquiries in real-time.

When you use the Moderated Chat, you can also use it as your Q&A platform.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to hosting a live Q&A session.

Adding a streaming chat to your live streaming session

1. Sign up to RumbleTalk.

It’s not just about sending text messages in a group chat. Sometimes an image or video is required to better explain a topic. For example, if you are holding a community discussion, you will need to share videos to present the topic. This is the time to send audio/video messages to the community to better explain the situation.

Not only that, but a feature like this is beneficial to businesses and professionals who provide their services online.

Audio and video messages can be sent in the chat room

You can send audio and video messages in the group chat.

You can use the feature in two ways:

• Record up to 30 seconds of audio or video message and send it to the group chat, where all members can see it.
• For private chats, you can record up to 30 seconds of audio or video messages.

You can record audio and video messages that can be seen by the receiver/s when you open a group chat or a private chat.

Simply click the paperclip button in your group or private chat to send audio and video messages.

Then, you can record the message, review it, and send it to your colleagues.

How does recording work?

You can record almost anything using this chat feature.

For example, a step-by-step guide for a new process, a brief introduction to your students, or a video sample for your new product, the recording feature is brief but to the point.

Regardless of how you use it, the extended recording time will benefit your chat experience.

Bonus feature: Sending photos and copy and pasting images for faster sending

It’s simple to send photos in the group chat. There are two approaches you can take.

The first option is to directly upload photos.

1. To begin, click the paperclip button in the text box. This will take you to the attachments page.
2. To upload an image from your device, click Add file.
3. Click Take photo if you want to share a new photo. This will take you to the camera, where you can take the photo you want to share.
4. You can repeat these steps in the private chat. The only difference is that you’re only sharing it with one person rather than the entire group chat.

Another approach you can take is to copy and paste an image.

1. First, locate an image that you’d like to share. You can find some on the internet.
2. Then, with your mouse, right-click and select Copy image.
3. Switch to RumbleTalk group chat and use the right-click or Ctrl + V to paste the image into your text box.
4. Include the image in your group chat.

Sending photos and videos is a must-have feature for any group chat

You should be able to send photos and videos to a group chat for your business or community at any time. Why is this the case? These are useful for any instructions or guides that cannot be easily explained in a message.

This can be avoided if you include a visual example for the members of your group chat. Others are welcome to add their thoughts if they notice anything unclear. As a result, any topic becomes easier to grasp.

Sign up for RumbleTalk to share your photos and videos with your colleagues, community, and clients.
