Overview

ZEGO Live is a one-stop product that you can use to build interactive live streaming experiences. You can create single-host, multi-host live streaming sessions with audio effects, face beautification, and more features provided by ZEGOCLOUD.

With ZEGO Live, users can create a live room to host, watch live video streaming events, invite participants in the live room to co-host, and more. Participants can send text messages to interact with the host and co-hosts in real time.

ZEGO Live can cover typical scenarios include live video streaming, live online classes, live-stream shopping/e-commerce, or live game streaming.

Basic concepts

  • Host: The user who creates a live room will be the host of the room. By default, the host can start a live and has control over who can speak in the room.
  • Participant: Participants are users who watch the live stream but have no permission to speak.
  • Co-host: Co-hosts are users who have permission to speak in a room.
  • Co-host seat: Co-host seats are virtual seats in a live room representing the permission to speak in the room. Only users in the co-host seats can turn on their mic and speak in the room.
  • Make co-hosts: The host of a room can invite any participants in the room to be a co-host.
  • Request to co-host: A participant can request to take a co-host seat to become a co-host.
  • Leave a co-host seat: A co-host can leave or be removed from a co-host seat and become a participant.
  • Face beautification: A host can set up face beautification features to make him look the way he wants before the live starts.
  • Audio effects: A host can choose music accompaniments and voice effects after the live starts.
  • Virtual gifting: Users in a live room can send virtual gifts to each other.
  • Text chat: Users in a room can interact with host and co-hosts by sending real-time text messages or emojis during live streaming.
