“We look forward to empowering more RTE start-ups in the region across the metaverse, social radio, education and entertainment industries, and supporting their ability to leverage new and exciting technologies that connect people in a more natural and meaningful way,” said Tony Zhao, CEO & co-founder of Agora.

Globally, Agora helps the world’s leading developers power 60 billion minutes of video and audio engagements each month.

Examples of RTE in action include:

• Gaming: Players can engage in real-time chat with teammates and opponents, see each other's facial expressions and reactions, and even share gameplay screens for coaching and collaboration.
• Education: Students can see and speak with classmates in a more natural, interactive way, allowing for greater engagement and collaboration during remote learning.
• Social networking: Users in social apps can now have interactive real-time video and audio experiences, connecting in a multi-dimensional manner, creating immersive social experiences in the metaverse.
• Livestream shopping: Viewers can watch product demonstrations and ask questions in real-time, creating a more engaging and interactive shopping experience.

“We continue to see new opportunities in the global RTE market,” said Zhao. “We are focused on delivering the world's best-performing RTE product and services with unrivaled real-time video and voice experience for end-users and best-in-class ease of use for developers.”
