Pros / Cons

  • Chat and communication, some features, its ease of use, professional output, and audience engagement tools,can easily interact with your viewers by showcasing their live comments
  • Emails come across as rude (not including the customer's name, not reading emails, not responsing to social media queries, etc.)
