How To Use Tekmatix Live Streaming & Interactive Video Rooms for Real-Time Engagement

Engaging your audience in real time has never been easier. With Tekmatix Live Streaming & Interactive Video Rooms, you can host collaborative meetings, broadcast webinars, and build custom live video experiences all from one unified platform.

This guide shows how to set up, run, and manage live video sessions in Tekmatix, with a real-world scenario illustrating practical use.

Why Live Streaming & Interactive Video Rooms Matter

High-quality, real-time video lets you:

• Connect with clients, teams, or communities without relying on external tools.

• Maintain a professional brand experience with native video capabilities.

• Record sessions for on-demand replay, extending the value of your live events.

• Monitor engagement with built-in analytics and protect resources with automatic session limits.

By centralizing video, you reduce tool sprawl, save costs, and streamline communication across your organization.

Sample Scenario

Scenario:
Your company is launching a new B2B service and wants to host a live demo for potential clients while simultaneously providing a private Q&A for existing customers.

How Tekmatix Helps:

1. Interactive Video Rooms: Invite internal team members for a dry run, assign moderator roles, and allow participants to test audio/video in preview mode.

2. Live Streaming Engine: Broadcast the demo to all clients in one-to-many mode, enabling chat, emoji reactions, and live questions.

3. Recording & Replay: Capture the session and share a replay link for clients who missed the live event.

Outcome: You engage multiple audiences simultaneously, maintain brand consistency, and extend the value of your event beyond the live session.

Meeting Remote vs. Stream Software Mode

Tekmatix Media Core gives you two powerful ways to go live:

1. Meeting Remote (Built-In Collaboration Mode)

Best for interactive meetings and group collaboration.

Key features include:

• Camera and microphone preview before joining

• Grid view or speaker view

• Participant management and host controls

• Screen sharing

• Hand-raising and emoji reactions

This mode works well for team meetings, coaching calls, and interactive workshops.

2. Stream Software Mode (Advanced Broadcasting)

Designed for professional broadcasts using external tools.

With this option, you’ll get:

• A stream key and stream URL

• Compatibility with tools like OBS or StreamYard

• Direct streaming into your Tekmatix community

Your audience can join instantly, chat in real time, and react—without ever leaving Tekmatix.

Step 2: Set Up an Interactive Video Room

• Click Create Room and configure:

  • Participant Limit – Set max attendees.

Step 3: Set Up a Live Streaming Broadcast

Step 4: Record & Share Sessions

• Enable recording for all sessions.

• After the session, share Watch Page links or embed videos on websites, dashboards, or in community posts.

Step 5: Use Analytics & Protect Resources
