The absence of the live interaction feature on the video-sharing platform constitutes a technical issue affecting real-time communication between the content creator and viewers. This commonly manifests during live streams or premiere events when comments and reactions from the audience are not visible to either the broadcaster or other viewers.
The functionality of audience participation fosters a sense of community and provides immediate feedback to the content creator. Its absence hinders dynamic engagement and can diminish the interactive experience crucial for retaining audience interest. The development of this platform feature aimed to facilitate communication, mirroring real-time conversations found in other interactive media.
