With Effi, you can stream to multiple destinations at once, and Chat pulls in all of those incoming messages and allows you to curate and display them to your live viewers — on all platforms. That means that your viewers watching on YouTube can see messages from viewers watching on Facebook, Twitch, etc. Great, right? All chat elements are added and managed from the elements panel in Stage. Choose of of our pre-designed templates and get going, or completely transform it with Effi's array of customization options.

Chat is a great and easy way to pull the audience into the action of your live event. Seeing their names displayed on the screen can make them feel special, involved, and keep them engaged.

With filtering and moderation options, you can also use chat to highlight specific hashtags, host special Q&A segments, and more. We can't wait to see how you use it, but however you decide to incorporate the chat element in your live stream, it's sure to add a level of engagement that will excite your audience.
