Description

215 McCann created the first-ever, live, interactive fireworks show… and put the controls into the hands of viewers everywhere. Knowing that the internet will find a way to destroy everything, we invited everyone to take control of 4000 pounds of colorful explosives and sat back, waiting for something undoubtedly fun, and hopefully semi-safe to happen. Participants set off thousands of fireworks, deciding the types, how often they went off, and in what order. In total, 1,450 fireworks were set-off by streamers - spending over 4 million sparks – the in-app currency - in less than 30 minutes with a massive crescendo that nearly broke Mixer. Since Mixerworks, the site has gained more members than Facebook in the same time period.

in 2017 everything changed while everything changed. In live video streaming, Microsoft introduced the world to Mixer, the first live streaming service that allows viewers to easily interact with the stream, not just watch To announce this, we created the first ever live interactive firework show and put the controls into the hands of viewers everywhere. Knowing that the Internet will find a way to destroy everything, we invited everyone to take control of £4000 of colorful explosives and sat back waiting for something undoubtably fund and hopefully semi safe toe happen in one of the most unlikely introductory product demos ever way weren't expecting this money. People be in the chat like it's moving so fast. Right down. Here are the buttons like these buttons, and we get tons of fireworks. Participants set off thousands of fireworks controlling the types of fireworks, how often they went off and in what order. In total, 1450 fireworks were set off by streamers in less than 30 minutes, with a massive crescendo that nearly broke mixer. Since the live streamed event mixer's gone from an unknown streaming service to being one of the top three games, streaming services alongside Twitch and YouTube gaming, quickly amassing over 10 million monthly active users in its 1st 6 months, there's a new button called the Wiggle Booth. Mixer Works was the perfect way to demonstrate the future of interactive viewing. Experience is the very thing that makes Mixer unique from other streaming services.
