LiveLike Feature Spotlight: Comments-as-a-Service
In 2023, making connections can be a challenge. That’s why fostering meaningful interactions and building a vibrant community around your platform content is crucial. Your users want to feel like they’re a part of something bigger, and that your platform is a space where they feel safe and like their voices and opinions are being heard and valued.
By integrating LiveLike’s innovative Comments-as-a-Service feature, our clients are empowered to take community engagement to the next level and create a dynamic space for their users to connect, discuss, and share their thoughts with others around the world.
What is Comments-as-a-Service (CaaS)?
At its core, CaaS is a dynamic commenting feature that empowers users to actively engage with content across your platform continuously and in real-time. Comment Boards, a core component of the feature, serve as dedicated spaces for users to discuss specific events, news, or content on your platform.
Each blog post, video, live event, or any other topic or piece of content in your system can have a dedicated comment board associated with it, ensuring that discussions are relevant and easily accessible, and enhancing the overall user experience by giving users the flexibility to discuss anything on your platform.
Why We Introduced Comments-as-a-Service

CaaS is a response to the growing need for a structured, interactive space where users can share thoughts, and opinions, and build connections. By introducing CaaS to digital spaces, we aim to elevate the user experience and create platforms where conversations thrive and users feel heard.
