What is Simulive?

Think Netflix! The Simulive feature allows you to play, pause, rewind & fast-forward pre-recorded content which appears as if it's live stream!

Simulive has three tiers, each of which provide a different level of functionality for attendees during the broadcast. Choose from the three options below based on your events requirements:

Basic

  • Viewers can join the broadcast, in live time.
  • The audience would watch the session 'as-live' meaning that  they're unable to catch up, pause & then play etc. 
  • Viewers can post comments & questions within an interactive bar during a live broadcast. 

Replay

  • Viewers can join the broadcast, in live time.
  • Viewers can replay the session even after it has ended.
  • Attendees can post comments & questions within the interactive bar during the live broadcast.
  • The audience can be pushed to breakouts whilst the broadcast is live.

Flex

  • Viewers can join the broadcast, in live time. 
  • Viewers can replay the session even after it has ended.
  • Start from the beginning, pause and rewind the broadcast both when the session is in real-time and replay mode.
  • Fast forward to the live point, within the broadcast.
  • Two fast forward options available whilst in replay mode.
  • Attendees can post comments & questions within the interactive bar during the live broadcast.
  • The audience can be pushed to breakouts whilst the broadcast is live.

Other features and functionality:

  • Admins have the option to either enable or disable a countdown for simulive sessions which would appear on the attendee’s screen. Once the countdown ends the broadcast will automatically go live. 
  • An administrator isn’t required to push the video through the console. When required, a scheduler can be set to do this automatically; thus making for a streamlined and smooth running broadcast.
