Add a spark of interaction to any event with the live chat Q&A and Polls features

When running a virtual event, a business meeting, or a community gathering, it is important that we capture the unfiltered thoughts of our audience in real-time through Q&A and Polls sessions. This will encourage audience participation, create an interactive environment, and help you gain valuable insight for your next move.

No wonder why the Moderated Q&A and Polls feature are two of the most used live chat features in the virtual world, because they significantly make every session more dynamic. And, they make the audience feel more involved even without physical interaction. Looking at it from the organizer’s perspective, these powerful tools are a huge help in aiding decision-making and ensuring that everybody’s voice is heard when planning for the future direction.

RumbleTalk equips you with the right tools to perform the Moderated Q&A and Polls functions efficiently and seamlessly. Also, these features are designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. Quickly jump into your Q&A and Poll sessions at a live meeting in just a few clicks. 

Inclusive, two-way communication using the Moderated Q&A Chat

Create an open environment where everyone in the chat room has a chance to have their question heard. You can do this by enabling the Moderated Q&A Chat, which will definitely make your presentations even more engaging and inclusive.

This function may be particularly useful in a virtual business conference, workshops, trade shows, class, podcast, or any type of event where there is two-way communication between the organizer and the participants.

Set up your Moderated Q&A Chat

  1. Go to the Admin Panel, and choose Moderated Chat as your chat type
  2. Appoint an administrator who will serve as the moderator of your chat room. He or she will have full control over the functions of the Moderated Chat, which includes approving and rejecting a message before it goes live. To do this, go to your Admin Panel, then click Users, and add a new user.

Choose admin for rooms if you want your moderator to have access to a specific chat room only. Or, choose admin that has global access to authorize them to function as a moderator across all the chat rooms.

3. After appointing your admins, you can now ask your questions to your audience. Your moderators can filter the questions, and choose which one to approve before it goes live. Only approved questions will be seen by your audience. 

A fun, engaging way to get real-time feedback through Polls

Polls provide a streamlined audience interaction in real-time. Allowing your participants to get involved on a certain topic keeps them engaged throughout the event. Aside from that, you can also use Polls to make better business decisions. Do this with a quick post-event survey, just before the end of your event.

Keep in mind that it’s best to use the poll feature every 15 minutes or so to consistently keep your participants engaged.

Setting up Polls 

There are two ways to enable the Polls feature.

  1. Through your RumbleTalk admin panel
  2. Logging in as an admin on the group chat itself

Case Study: A spike in engagement that’s beyond all expectations

A few weeks ago, we’ve had the pleasure of participating in an event that was run through RumbleTalk Chat’s technology. The experience showed us why adding an event chat into your platform could be one of the biggest changes to live stream events, e.g., audience engagement, since the invention of social media.

We are so delighted to have the privilege of sharing with you the story of one of our clients. How they started, and how we spruced things up. This case study highlights several key takeaways from our campaign so far.

Before we get started, let’s define the following terms first.

What is a live stream event?

A live stream event is a real-time, broadcasted event over the Internet. It can be on your website, on a community platform, or anywhere else online. To make it more effective in engaging your audience, most organizers add a live chat into the event. So, it instantly becomes a two-way communication. It becomes a place where your audience isn’t just your listener, but can also engage with other participants in so many ways.

What is engagement and how do we measure it?

Engagement is when visitors to your website, or event, appreciate your content enough to stick around, interact, and share your content. For example, if we are measuring our live stream event’s engagement, we will look at the interaction between the active chatters, the participants who stayed until the end of the program, and people who talk about the event on their social media platforms.

So, in an event like this, we can quantify engagement by using this formula:

The Objective: To increase the total engagement rate in a live stream conference

Organizing healthcare conferences for almost a decade, this will be our client’s first time to use RumbleTalk in their virtual event. The objective is to increase the total engagement of this 2-day event. From the usual 47%, we are eyeing at least a 75% engagement rate by the end of the program.

The Solution: Pair the event with RumbleTalk Moderated Chat

live stream

The conference contained panels and speakers from varied medical specialties. Organizers are expecting over 400 guests in the medical industry. Given this huge number, they knew they needed a tool to provide attendees a way to communicate their thoughts on the fly. So, we set up RumbleTalk on their website, where the event will take place.

The RumbleTalk Experience: Features that helped us reach the goal

  1. Moderated Chat – This chat type allows you to assign an administrator to moderate the conversation. Your admin has control over the functions that will keep your event chat a safe and healthy space for all your participants. They can approve or reject messages before it goes live. Moreover, they can delete all messages at once or mute everyone if there’s an announcement. The admin can disconnect or ban problematic users.
  2. Q&A Sessions and Polls – RumbleTalk further improved the interaction between the speakers and the audience. They did this through a moderated Q&A Session, where the admin will be the one to gather questions through the chat. The admin can also host Poll discussions. This creates an inclusive environment where everyone’s opinion can be heard.
  3. Add a Welcome Message – A simple way to warmly welcome your audience once they enter the online event.
  4. Keywords – During panel discussions, the admin can send downloadable booklets, images, and tutorial videos through Keywords. A feature that turns words into links that will lead your audience to the designated webpage, downloadable file, online form, video, and more.

The Results: 88% total engagement rate, 91% of attendees stayed until the end of the event

live stream engagement

It’s safe to say that using RumbleTalk chat for this online conference was a very successful strategy. The average total engagement rate on their previous live-stream events is usually around 47%. But, with RumbleTalk chat, we were able to enjoy a nice spike with a whopping 88% – which is 13% above the target.

Finally, we also noted that 392 out of 431 participants stayed until the conclusion of the event. Lowering the drop-off rate by 12%.

RumbleTalk gives a simple solution that produced substantial effects

There is no better way to communicate with people during a live stream conference event than through a powerful tool such as RumbleTalk. This communications platform can help you keep your events organized, and your interactions more vibrant than ever.
