The Problem with Traditional Audience Engagement Tools
In today’s digital age, live streaming and virtual meetings have become increasingly popular for various applications, including webinars, town halls, work meetings, Twitch streams, online classes, and in-person conferences.

For in-person events, users can simply scan a QR code and participate in a browser-based chat on their phones.
The company’s mission is to ensure parity between in-person and remote attendees, ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to be heard and acknowledged. By doing so, StreamAlive aims to boost enthusiasm and morale among virtual participants, ultimately driving more active participation and engagement.
