Response 3: ...

Part 5 How to Start Broadcasting?
1. Starting in Wondershare Virbo (Live Version)
  • Step 1 Configuring the Q&A Library

On the product homepage, click on "Q&A Library" and then "Add Q&A." A functional pop-up window will appear where you can enter the Q&A scripts you have prepared in advance. Below are explanations for each field to fill out.

QA
  • Q&A Rule: Name this rule for easy identification. On the product homepage, you can see multiple live room templates to choose from. You can click on any template to start broadcasting directly, or you can delete some materials from the template and replace them with your own uploads.
  • Keywords: If a viewer's question in the live room contains any of the keywords, the rule will be matched, and the digital avatar will respond. You can enter multiple keywords, separated by semicolons.
  • Response Content: You can add up to five responses. The response content can include variables such as [Viewer Nickname], [Viewer Country], etc., which will automatically be filled with the viewer's ID and country each time it is triggered.
  • For example, if a viewer asks in the live room, "How do I buy this?" and you have set keywords like "buy; sell; purchase; order; book," the digital avatar will match the keyword in the viewer's question and verbally deliver the response you set. If you choose a sequential response mode for the content, the digital avatar will respond with one of the responses in order each time the Q&A is triggered. If you choose a random response mode, the digital avatar will randomly select one response to deliver each time the rule is triggered.
  • Video Display: If you upload a video for this rule, the video will be displayed in the specified position on the live screen when this Q&A rule is triggered, until the digital avatar finishes delivering the response. There are three positions available for the video: top third, middle third, and bottom third of the screen.
  • The last setting is for anti-spam control. This is used to control the frequency of responses from the digital avatar. The larger the interval time you set, the lower the frequency of responses from the digital avatar. You can adjust this according to the interaction frequency in your live room.
  • Step 2. Setting Up a Live Room

Create a new live room by selecting a digital avatar and adding materials on the canvas.

There are two methods to set up a live room:
