XPOCAST® Engagement

XPOCAST® = intuitive viewer engagement tools

All XPOCAST® webcasts support a number of engagement tools to keep viewers active and involved in your presentation. Viewer engagement tools include:

  • Surveys
  • Polling Questions
  • Twitter (e.g. view and post tweets)
  • Q&A (submit questions to the presenters)
  • Group Chat
  • Social Media Integration

XPOSLIDE™

You can create an engaging and interactive experience for audience members by bringing your presentation slides to life. XPOSLIDE™ allows you to incorporate uploaded video clips, screen sharing, live web pages, YouTube videos, polling questions and breakout rooms into your webcast's slide area. Audience members can interact with the live slide content, while presenters retain the ability to take back control of the slides at any time.

Interactive Tour Bus

The XPOCAST Tour Bus creates guided, interactive journeys through a virtual environment. The tour guide takes audience members to visit spaces within an environment and audience members can interact within each space, just as they would if they had navigated there on their own. Using XPOCAST® audio streaming, the leader provides an explanation of each space, while retaining the ability to move the audience to a different location at any time.

Moderated Chat

Moderated Chat creates an exciting new engagement model for virtual events by blending elements of text-based question and answer sessions with group chat. The user interface for Moderated Chat is very similar to standard group chat. Audience members can submit comments or questions, and moderator can approve comments to be displayed publically, or provide threaded responses to questions. Moderated Chat can be launched on its own within an environment, or embedded alongside a video in a presentation.

Flexible Panels: A Feature of XPOCAST®Flex™

Flexible Panels enable the viewing audience to access multiple areas of content on the viewing screen while enabling the viewers to arrange and resize the presentation content areas, personalizing their viewing experience. Flexible Panels are delivered via a toolbar of icons on the webcast console. Panels can also be configured by the speaker to be displayed in a specific opening order or can be fixed on the screen, instead of movable.

Our panels support the ultimate in flexibility by allowing you to incorporate an external web page inside a panel. In addition, you can embed HTML code to be displayed inside a panel. Using this capability, you can incorporate YouTube videos, Twitter widgets, a Wikipedia page (and more) inside your panels.

PowerPoint™ Builds & Animations

XPOCAST® supports PowerPoint™ slide animations and builds, which provides presenters with a greater range of options to create more dynamic, visually appealing presentations. In addition, it eliminates the need for animations to be stripped from the slide deck, or for builds to be manually created prior to uploading slides.

Telephony Integration

XPOCAST® supports integrated telephony that is compatible with any teleconference provider and supports any domestic or international dial-in number. As a result, you can "bring your own conferencing provider" for your XPOCAST®.

Peer–to–Peer (P2P) Bandwidth Optimization

Peer–To–Peer (P2P) enables a company that has a large number of viewers behind a company's firewall(s) or has bandwidth constraints to the internet, to be able to view rich-media XPOCAST® presentations while minimizing bandwidth. P2P deployment is most beneficial when there are a large number of XPOCAST® viewers located in the same location and/or clusters of users in multiple locations that want to concurrently view the XPOCAST® presentation. P2P enabled in XPOCAST® optimizes bandwidth usage by maintaining fewer direct connections to the content source. A few users connect directly to the source, while other users connect over the local network to the "feeder" users. Our P2P feature has routing logic to "route around" any failed feeders, resulting in no interruptions in the webcast viewing experience.
