Case Study: Netflix powers real-time interactive live voting with Telescope

Netflix launches first real-time interactive live vote with Telescope across 13 episodes

Netflix sought to create its first-ever real-time interactive live voting experience for the Season 3 premiere of Dinner Time Live with David Chang. The challenge was to enable millions of at-home viewers to rate dishes in real time alongside celebrity judges, directly influencing the show's outcome. To achieve this, Netflix partnered with Telescope and leveraged its Rating product and API services.

Telescope implemented a comprehensive solution that included a custom voting API for Netflix's streaming UI, a specialized Rating Vote app for in-studio judges, and a fallback voting method. This integration resulted in a seamless global live premiere with flawless technical execution. The solution successfully engaged audiences worldwide, scaled to support an extended 13-episode season, and provided the production team with over 20 custom dashboards for real-time monitoring, marking a historic milestone for interactive television on Netflix.
