Hey Michael, Aaron!

We're working on a streaming platform that lets viewers interact with the games streamers are playing in realtime, think TwitchPlaysPokemon but built for any game, a visual control set and sub-second stream delay.

It's a bit of a foreign concept for a lot of folks that don't know about collaborative gameplay, and I'm curious what direction we should go about our landing page. Show streams? Talk about the interactive portion of the platform? A mix of both (what we're doing right now)

I went to your site and I am watching this stream: https://beam.pro/Noplix - how do I participate in the game play?
That stream doesn't have interactive controls enabled, try heading to one of the streams labeled as interactive from the home page.

You might need to log in to get interacting, you can use: User: testaccount2 Pass: DummyPassword

Seems to me like you should be featuring interactive streams on the frontpage - its hard to showcase your value prop if its hidden
