How to add clapping to a live stream

To add clapping to your stream, you will need to enable the clapping option in your stream, as explained in the Creating a live stream article.

When clapping is enabled in the stream's parameters, the audience can "clap" during a live stream to show their support or enthusiasm. The applause will be visible to all participants directly on the live stream, while speakers can see the total number in real time in Backstage.

Participants can clap up to 20 times, before a 60-second cool down period begins. After those 60 seconds, they will be able to clap again.

You can also see the total number of claps received during the live stream as part of the stream analytics.

Note: Clapping is only available when streaming directly through SpotMe, and is not available when you are using a third party streaming solution.

Note: Clapping is not available on on-demand videos.
