Interactive Livestreaming and the Future of Esports
summary
Genvid's platform powers the last three Counter‑Strike majors on Twitch and delivers a clickable interactive overlay that shows mini‑maps, weapons, live player stats and alternate camera feeds; buyers of a premium pass get access to those overlays and microtransactions. Integration uses Twitch's Command Center and multiple simultaneous streams (up to eleven during recent events), which increases engagement and creates new revenue. Roadmap tiers are data export for informational overlays, per‑viewer customization, and true viewer influence where crowds can affect outcomes; prototypes and live events show higher engagement and monetisation.
