The attention of mobile audiences is hard to win and easy to lose. Passive viewing isn’t enough. Today’s users want interactivity and immersion.
By embedding interactive games directly into live-streaming experiences, platforms can unlock a powerful new engagement layer extending session times and providing fresh monetization opportunities.
ByteSun’s HTML5 mini-games combined with Agora’s ultra-low-latency live-streaming solutions can transform viewers into participants while driving engagement, retention, and revenue.
Adding Mini Games to Your Steaming App
ByteSun’s mini-games are primarily integrated through HTML5 web embedding, making them lightweight, cross-platform, and easy to deploy. An SDK is also available as an option for deeper integration, depending on platform needs. Once integrated into an application, these games can create unique, high-engagement experiences in multiple scenarios, including:
- During Live Streams: Viewers can play directly with hosts or other audience members, turning passive watching into shared, real-time interactive moments.
- Inside the App’s Game Center: Users can enjoy games casually at any time, even outside of live streams.
- During Breaks in Sports Streams: Keeps audiences entertained and engaged even during downtime.
This flexible deployment ensures users stay connected—whether actively watching a live event or exploring game features independently.
