Interactive Features (Reactions, Comments, and Q&A)

Enable Reactions: Depending on the platform settings, you can enable emoji reactions or quick feedback tools during your livestream.
How to Use:
- Viewers can use reactions such as thumbs up, hearts, or claps to engage with the content.
- These reactions can appear on the screen, creating a more dynamic interaction during the broadcast.
Manage Reactions: If you’re the livestream host, you can monitor the reactions live and even highlight popular ones or acknowledge them during the stream to engage viewers.

Activate Live Chat: Make sure the live chat feature is enabled for your event. This will allow viewers to comment during the stream.

Engage with Viewers: Regularly check the comments and respond to questions or comments from your audience to keep the conversation flowing.

Moderation: Set up moderators (if necessary) to filter out inappropriate comments and maintain a positive, engaging environment.
Pin Comments: Some platforms allow you to pin important comments, like announcements, questions, or key points, so they stay visible to all viewers.

How to Use Comments Effectively:

Encourage viewers to ask questions, share their thoughts, or react to the content in the comments.
You can address these comments during the stream, creating a sense of interaction and community.
Highlight questions or insights from viewers to make them feel acknowledged.

Set Up a Q&A Session: If Tebtalks has a built-in Q&A feature, you can set it up to allow viewers to submit questions during the stream.
- Enable Q&A: Depending on the platform, you may need to toggle on or enable the Q&A mode in your livestream settings.
- Viewers can then submit their questions, which can be displayed for everyone to see.
- You can choose to answer these questions live during the stream or allocate specific times for the Q&A session.
Moderate Questions: As the host, you can manage and review the submitted questions before answering them.
- You may want to use a moderator to help prioritize questions or filter out irrelevant ones.
Organize the Q&A: To keep the session smooth and engaging:
- Group similar questions together.
- Create a specific time for Q&A, either at the end of the stream or during breaks.
- Encourage viewers to submit questions early to avoid confusion later.

Some platforms allow you to set up polls or surveys during your livestream.
- Create polls that viewers can participate in to get their opinions or feedback in real-time.
- Use polls to ask fun questions or gather insights about your topic.
- Display the poll results live on the stream to involve your audience even further.

Encourage Participation: Let your viewers know that their reactions, comments, and questions are welcome. This will boost engagement and interaction.
Create Interactive Moments: Schedule moments in your stream where you specifically ask for comments, reactions, or questions.
- Example: “Now, let’s take a look at what you think! Drop your reactions in the chat!”
- “I see some great questions coming in. Let’s dive into the Q&A session now!”
Acknowledge Viewers: Respond to comments, thank viewers for their reactions, and address questions directly to make them feel seen and involved.

Ensure you have the necessary tools to moderate comments and prevent spam or inappropriate behavior.
- Set up moderators or assign trusted individuals to help manage the chat.
- Enable automated filters for offensive language or inappropriate content if available.

After the stream, you can review interaction data:
- Comment count to see how active the chat was.
- Reactions count to understand the level of viewer engagement.
- Question insights to see which topics resonated with your audience.
