In reply to Hafdis. I think that either scenario could be desirable. If it is a formal presentation, then may be better to focus on the music video without chatting. But, if it's quite an informal one, sometimes a chat alongside can act as a buzz to generate some more excitement. I performed a recital in late November 2020 online via Facebook, but on that occasion it was a 'live live' presentation in which I was playing in real time while the audience were listening! I actually enjoyed looking at the comments in the chat afterwards :)

In reply to Hafdis. Yes you can indeed do this! Good strategy to keep everyone focused and not scattered during your premiere.

Thank you so much for this article, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I have one question though – if I want the audience to be focused on the music video while it’s premiering, rather than chatting, can I turn of the chat…? What I see as optimal would be to chat before the premiere, and then basically saying thanks and bye afterwards (or discussing it if people want to do that).
