LivePublikum

LivePublikum is a live audience engagement platform that enables broadcasters to interact with viewers during a live stream or event. The service provides tools for viewers to participate in real time through polls, questions, and reactions, while giving producers and moderators a centralized interface to manage participation and display audience input on screen or a control panel.

Core features include real-time polling and Q&A, a comments wall, audience analytics, and moderation workflows. The platform supports multi-device access, with mobile and desktop clients, and offers integration with popular streaming platforms and video encoders. Some configurations include sponsor integrations and tipping options where permitted by the deployment.

Technology and architecture typically rely on real-time messaging protocols and cloud-based services to deliver low-latency updates to thousands of concurrent users. Data protection and privacy controls are provided, with configurable access levels for producers, moderators, and guests.

Use cases include entertainment events, educational live sessions, conferences, and corporate town halls. While examples of use are diverse, deployments generally aim to increase audience engagement, extend feedback channels, and provide organizers with analytics about participation patterns.

In discussions about live audience platforms, concerns have been raised about moderation, bot activity, and the potential for distraction or disruption. Proponents emphasize that robust moderation, clear guidelines, and transparent data handling can mitigate these risks.
