When streaming to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitch from LiveReacting Studio, you can view and manage all users' comments directly on this streaming platform.

Managing all comments from one place is convenient and allows you to engage with viewers across all platforms without switching between different tabs. For better viewer engagement, you can also selectively display specific comments on a stream.

What's cool about displaying live comments?

  • 😎 You're in complete control of selecting 'what matters' and making it stand out. Let's say someone compliments you on your content via a comment. You can display their comment in a stream with a click, so that everyone sees it. Or, someone asks you an important question, which you intend to answer in your stream, so you highlight that question by bringing it onto a screen.
  • 😏 You engage live viewers while displaying their comments in your stream. Users see their profile photo & name, and comment inside the stream, which creates excitement and may motivate other users to engage in your stream.
💡
You can customize the design of displayed comments in a live stream: adjust the shape, choose color, font, position, and more. Comment display feature is available for ALL LiveReacting users, including those who use a Free Trial.

Now you know how to show comments on YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or Twitch within a few clicks. In practice, new users spend around 6-11 minutes to launch a test stream and see how the 'put live comments on screen' feature works.

In addition to displaying a single comment, you can also display a chat overlay on your live stream feed. It will aggregate all comments from all destinations you are streaming to and display them in a beautiful overlay on your live stream.
