Interactive messaging is a feature used to enhance message communication in live rooms and improve the interactive experience. ApsaraVideo Live provides rich and easy-to-integrate SDKs to help you implement capabilities such as comments, bullet comments, and likes in your live streaming applications.
Usage notes
By default, messages in an interactive messaging group are stored for 30 days. You can set the storage period to 90 or 180 days when you create the interactive messaging group. Messages are automatically deleted once expired.
The old version of interactive messaging uses the traditional IM architecture, which has limited optimization space and is no longer iterated. Currently, the old version is not available to new users. Existing users of the old version can continue using it. The new version of interactive messaging is released, which has more reliable message transmission, richer capabilities, and a smaller SDK package size. We recommend that users who are using the old version migrate to the new version as soon as possible. For new users, use the new version directly.

Scenarios
Entertainment live streaming
Entertainment app developers can use interactive messaging to add, kick out, or mute members in a live room and implement various interactive capabilities such as likes, bullet comments, and gifts, providing viewers with more choices and a richer interactive experience to improve user stickiness.
E-commerce live streaming
For e-commerce live streaming, we recommend that you use custom messaging capabilities to manage product lists. During live streaming, you can update, replenish, or remove products or change product prices. Viewers can conveniently browse the product list and jump to the online mall to purchase products.
Enterprise live streaming
For enterprise live streaming, you can use the capabilities provided by interactive messaging to share courseware or media files and interact with viewers in real time.
Education live streaming
For education live streaming, you can use the capabilities provided by interactive messaging to share courseware or media files and interact with viewers in real time. In addition, you can manage members in a class and collect learning statistics.

By default, interactive messaging can detect illegal or undesirable content in messages, including the following content:
Ads
Terrorism and politically sensitive content
Abuse
Pornographic content
Spam
Meaningless content
Prohibited content
Undesirable scenes (such as content related to mammonism, wealth flaunting, blind worshiping of idols, disruptive emotions, and negative enticement)
Detection of custom sensitive words is not supported. For more information, see What is Content Moderation?
