Real-Time Live-Stream Polling

The Sweet Platform Has Real Time Polling Data for Fan Interaction

— April 8, 2020 — Tech
The Sweet platform enables artists to have a dialog with their fans, and it is seeing a drastic increase in demand as people are remaining home due to COVID-19. The increase in demand is in part because the Sweet platform has a live crowd polling feature, titled 'You Decide.' This means that fans can interact with artists during the stream, which lets them participate in what happens.

The CEO of Sweet spoke about the impact that live polling can have on the user experience, "Fans everywhere are looking to breathe their voice into live experiences, and now have a platform which enables them to actively engage in a live performance from artists and creators."

A number of prominent artists have already scheduled streams on the Sweet platform, including Mo Pitney, Wengie, Abby Anderson, and more.
