Highlights

  • [19:59] Kieran Bresnan on latency and synchronization in live sports: "The main challenges are in deciding when to surface interactivity and how that matches with the event life cycles. Latency is obviously a key aspect to take into account, and every video company is working on that, but one of the main aspects to focus on is synchronization to make sure the user is not noticing any delay."
  • [25:13] Miheer Walavalkar on where interactivity is heading in the near future: "We are focusing on aspects such as betting, which is becoming prominent in the interactivity space. From a monetization point of view, interactivity is underpinning functionalities that move between gamification and community building. That's where I see the main efforts going in the near future."
