Interactive features are ways to take part beyond watching: tip menus list perks at set amounts, goals are shared targets, polls let viewers vote, and favourites notify you when a host goes live. All of it is optional.
“Interactive” can sound like jargon, but it simply means you can do more than watch. Here’s a plain-English glossary of what you’ll see in live rooms, so no menu ever feels like a foreign language.
- Tip menu
- A list of actions or perks the host offers at set tip amounts. Think of it as the room’s price list for fun extras.
- Goals
- A shared target the room works toward together. When viewers’ tips reach it, the host does something announced in advance.
- Polls and votes
- Quick ways to let viewers choose what happens next. Usually low-cost or free to join.
- Private messages
- One-to-one text outside the public chat. Rules and prices vary by host.
- Favourites and follows
- Save a host and get notified when they’re live. Free with an account.
- Schedules
- Many hosts post when they plan to go live, so you can show up on time.
- Device-synced rooms
- Some rooms support compatible interactive devices that respond to tips. Each room’s description explains how it works.
You can enjoy a room purely as a watcher. Participation is optional, never required — and it’s always okay to decline a prompt.
How to try it without overspending
- Start in a room with an active chat so you can see how others take part.
- Join a poll or follow a host first — they’re free or cheap.
- Set a small tip cap before you try a menu item, then stick to it.
- Check the price on screen every time before you confirm.
