ow , directly from any device , any user could stream a video in real-time and interact with their audience .
Post engagements went through the roof . An entire new eco-system for interacting with each other became reality .
In one fell swoop , Facebook rocked the foundations of hangouts , webinars and anything that seemed to be “ permanent ” in the marketing landscape .
But …. it was not without issues and limitations .
Most people can only stream from their camera . They can only run live videos from mobile . They haven ’ t tapped into the actual marketing potential of this yet .
It ’ s a “ nice to have ” rather than an essential tool .
They don ’ t know that you can actually use FB LIVE as a webinar tool , or as a way to broadcast a remote screen ….. and loads more .
Martin Crumlish and his team have set out to change that today as they draw back the curtain on Facebook Live Videos and give you a bleeding edge app that will put live video right at the beating heart of your online marketing . – It is Vote Stream !!!
So what is Vote Stream ?
To put it simply , Vote Stream is the first app of it ' s kind that lets you run live social voting contests , connected to facebooks reaction buttons , inside FB live videos .
These campaigns were previously only possible in 1 very expensive subscription app or via custom coded scripts ... but we cracked the code , built a platform and have put this in the cloud , ready for you to use and sell to clients .
Votes and Polls on Facebook aren ' t new ... ... but doing it in real time in a video is !
What does it do ?
You publish a campaign in VoteStream then follow the steps to go live in Facebook . Users visit your video and vote with Facebooks reaction buttons to match up with their choice on screen . This viral action gets blasted out across Facebook to their friends , in newsfeeds and everywhere else this activity shows up . VoteStream captures the action and updates the count live on screen .
