Case Study: Scener achieves scalable low-latency virtual watch parties with Agora

Scener gathers friends to enjoy streaming content in virtual watch parties powered by Agora

Scener, a platform for virtual watch parties, needed a robust real-time engagement solution to enable synchronous video, audio, and text chat for its users while keeping content playback perfectly in sync. They required a technology partner that could provide global reach, low-latency, and the ability to scale events from small gatherings to massive public screenings, a challenge they turned to Agora to solve.

By implementing Agora's real-time network and video calling services, Scener gained a low-latency and highly scalable infrastructure. This allowed the platform to confidently host events ranging from a few friends to over 200,000 participants simultaneously in the same virtual space. The results were pivotal, with Agora's technology enabling a tenfold growth for Scener and supporting successful large-scale events, such as a screening for almost 30,000 users hosted by filmmaker Zack Snyder.
