Live Streaming & Premieres
Live chat
Also called: stream chat
Live chat is what a recording cannot reproduce. Viewers post as they watch, Super Chats and member messages surface in the same column, and whoever is talking in the first few minutes sets the tone for the whole broadcast.
Moderation is the workload nobody plans for. You can present properly or you can read the room, and most streamers doing both end up with a moderator or two, plus slow mode and a blocked-word list. Chat replay usually stays attached to the recording afterwards, which is easy to forget when you say something to 12 live viewers that 40,000 people will read back later.
