About live broadcast:
The live scenes of this Canton Fair will be divided into two types: public and private.
The public live broadcast is confirmed through the relevant information confirmed by the manufacturer and many parties, similar to the live broadcast hall. The private live broadcast is a one-to-one communication scenario between the two parties, which shows the true and reliable supply chain and service capabilities of the manufacturer in a relatively private way. That is, for a certain product, the presenter and the purchaser initiate one-to-one live broadcast communication if both parties are willing.
For the private docking scenario, in order to further ensure the product security of exhibitors, Tencent will also carry out strict three-level classification settings for privacy, and strengthen the identity endorsement and authentication of buyers.
Exhibitors shall have at least one live broadcast room in the exhibition area, and the upper limit of the number will be determined in combination with the enterprise exhibition area and exhibition space. There are no national and regional restrictions on the location of the live broadcast activities in the live broadcast room of the exhibitors, but the anchor is required to have both an ID card and a mobile phone number in Chinese Mainland. It is worth noting that the live broadcast room of the exhibitors does not provide the function of video connection.
In addition, if it is necessary to play the pre recorded video in the live broadcast room, the pre recorded video can be played on the computer arranged by the enterprise. The screen content can be broadcast through the third-party streaming software downloaded in advance, and the system will automatically generate the playback video after playing.
The exhibitor account can watch the live broadcast through the live broadcast hall, and can enter its own live broadcast room from the live broadcast assistant port to reply to comments, but there is only one live broadcast assistant account in a live broadcast room.
