Shopee launches live streaming feature

It wants to allow viewers to directly engage with sellers.

Shopee is launching its first ever live streaming feature Shopee LIVE, an announcement revealed. Shopee LIVE is designed for viewers to be able to directly engage with sellers, learn about products, and ask questions in real-time. With this feature, customers can also purchase items online without having to leave the live stream.

With data showing that 89% of Singaporeans consume video content on their mobile phones today, Shopee LIVE is designed to cater to Singaporeans’ growing demands for online video content.

Zhou Junjie, chief commercial officer, Shopee, said, “Singaporeans are looking for more than just a transactional shopping experience, they are demanding more entertainment and engagement.”

The other feature “Shopee Quiz” aims to engage shopee users into an interactive live trivia game. Hosted by local influencers, the game goes live at 9 p.m. daily. Participants can win from the Shopee Coins prize pool and selected items from participating brands by answering the questions correctly on different topics like history and pop culture.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
