"If you're sitting at home watching 'Star Search' on your TV, you'll be able to either on the TV or your mobile phone actually put in a vote that advances or doesn't advance some of the contestants on the show, Stone had said. So it's just a very early starting example of the ways that we think content can be more interactive over time, across devices, between TV and mobile, where a member who subscribes to Netflix can actually feel like they're part of the story, influence the storyline, and feel immersed in that."
"Subscribers will be able to either pick a selection from a multiple-choice menu or rate someone's performance on a scale of five stars. Votes can be cast using either a TV remote or the Netflix app. Netflix said that the feature will work globally, and on the backend, the platform will tally votes in real-time. Viewers will have a limited time to vote, and once that time has lapsed, additional votes won't count. That means if you're watching the show later, you can't participate in the voting."
Netflix is launching a live voting feature for its live-streamed talent show 'Star Search' that allows viewers to vote in real time. Viewers can choose from multiple-choice options or rate performances on a five-star scale using a TV remote or the Netflix app. The platform will tally votes globally on the backend and accept input only during a limited voting window, preventing participation by viewers who watch later. Netflix previously tested live voting with 'Dinner Time Live with David Chang' and has expanded into live shows, sports broadcasts, and interactive TV games.
