WeChat Groups I Run | Original
With Fun Live, users could participate in various knowledge lectures such as programming or design. Users could pay fees to attend live sessions or reward lecturers. The lecturer used the OBS tool to push live streams to the server. Users could participate in the lecture in real-time or see the playback later. The platform integrated seamlessly with WeChat for notifications. Hosted around 80 lectures, gained 30,000 users and millions of page views. The 27 WeChat groups came from the Fun Live user base. We would also invite the speakers of the night to share shortly in these WeChat groups.

I talk to each group and share a lot — the materials can be different, just helping me learn things.

For the 27 “AI · Fun Live” groups, I share a message in one group and then repost it to the other 26.

I don’t just share in AI · Truth; different groups have different people to discuss with too.
