Livestreamers using platforms such as Restream and Airmeet can now easily sign up for and use StreamAlive to drive better audience engagement and participation with visual interactions

StreamAlive, the leading audience engagement platform for live sessions, launched its Google Chrome extension. The extension empowers users of any browser-based streaming platform with a chat function to leverage StreamAlive’s visual interactions. The Chrome extension significantly expands StreamAlive’s total addressable market to the millions of streamers that use in-browser platforms that don’t require a dedicated app download and are designed to boost engagement and promote interactions.

This is extremely powerful for popular multistreaming platforms such as Restream Studio that streamers can use to simulcast to multiple audiences and destinations including on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and more. Restream’s chat product enables streamers to read and reply to chat messages from multiple streaming platforms all on one screen – right in their browser. Livestreamers can then use StreamAlive to capture and visualize the aggregated chat on Restream coming in from every platform.

This Chrome extension has the potential to be transformative for us and our users as browser-based streaming continues to gain popularity for its simplicity, ease-of-use, and compatibility with live streaming software for production and simulcasting

There is also a significant use case for virtual and hybrid events platforms such as Airmeet, Hopin (now Ringcentral), ON24, BigMarker, Hubilo, Goldcast, and others that people use to host webinars, summits, meetups, town halls, and workshops where participants can interact with the presenter and each other through chat. StreamAlive’s chat-powered visual interactions such as live polls, quizzes, interactive maps, and word clouds take audience participation on these platforms to a new level.

“This Chrome extension has the potential to be transformative for us and our users as browser-based streaming continues to gain popularity for its simplicity, ease-of-use, and compatibility with live streaming software for production and simulcasting,” said Lux Narayan, StreamAlive CEO. “live streamers are growing their brands by meeting audiences where they are, and we are committed to providing the easiest, most frictionless solutions for exponentially boosting engagement that is powered directly from chat interactions on any platform in real time.”
