Sendbird Responds to Widespread Need for Connecting Digitally With Launch of Supergroup Channel
Summary
Sendbird’s Supergroup Channels, designed for the world’s largest and most active communities, now enables up to 20,000 users to engage in a real-time private group chat-- an industry first at this scale. “Scale has been one of the biggest issues hindering new applications for chat and messaging, and we are thrilled to remove this barrier, particularly in the current environment where large in-person gatherings are limited at best,” said Sendbird CEO and Founder John Kim. Supergroups further extend the power of Sendbird’s recently introduced Announcements API, which provides the mechanism to market or convey information to exceptionally large groups of active users at one time. Sendbird powers in-app chat for the worlds leading companies in industries ranging from marketplaces, on-demand and online communities to gaming, live video streaming and healthcare.
