Interactive Elements: polls, meters, trivia, triggers, and other elements you'll use to make your broadcasts interactive.
Layer: each time an element, like a poll, image, or even guest, is added to your event a layer will be created to give you quick access to design, controls, and re-ordering elements of a scene.
Media Library: this is where you will add media files like images, videos, and music to your event. All media will be saved in your media library and can be accessed throughout the event.
Meter: an interactive element that allows you to poll your audience between two options.
Poll: This interactive element lets you pose a question to your audience for them to vote on. It can be something as simple as what food they like best or something that has a direct effect on your live show like which segment you should jump to next.
Private Chat: a special chat that can be used by participants and producers of a broadcast to chat with each other during a production without the audience seeing.
Scene: where you will add all the interactive and design elements of your event. Just like in a script, scenes relate to what's happening in your show at that moment. So, it's best to have your scenes and their titles correspond accordingly.
Sparks: allows you to listen to your audience to gather their group sentiment and then react to how they are feeling in a variety of fun expressions. Like with GIFs, images, sounds, and more.
Stream Monitoring: Effi monitors the quality of your stream while broadcasting and will give you an easy-to-understand visual representation so you will know if your stream is in trouble and needs fixing.

Video Feed: the Video Feed element is how you will arrange guests in your scenes.
Word Cloud: populate the most-used words and display them to your viewers.
Word Watch: this element is meant to bring up the tempo of the chat and see what the audience is going all in for in the chat. Unlike a poll, in Word Watch the audience can vote as many times as they'd like and go hard for their favorite guest, the segment they want to see next, or the topic they're feeling the most.
