iWedia is bringing its Watchparty solution to IBC2023. Designed for television set viewing, Watchparty connects friends and family for a joint viewing experience from the comfort of their living room. The company says Watchparty bridges the gap between personal social media and the platform operator world “to reach a wider audience and increase customer engagement and loyalty”.
Users can invite friends or family to watch live broadcasts or streaming, whether that is sports events or shows. Content does not have to be live, of course, and iWedia suggests that even user-generated content on YouTube could be watched together.
Viewers can discuss the content they are watching in real-time through a chat function, with Watchparty using popular messenger apps to manage groups and the chat functionality. There are no limits to the size of the co-viewing groups.
iWedia is known for its software solutions for connected TV devices. The company can be found on Stand 5.F80.
