How to Add a Call-In Feature to Your Evmux Live Streams

The Call-In feature is a fantastic way to add audience interaction to your live streams, allowing viewers to dial in and be part of the conversation. While Evmux doesn’t have a built-in phone call integration, you can achieve this effect using a simple workaround with a web-based call service like Zadarma. Follow this guide to set up a seamless call-in experience in your Evmux live stream.

Step 1: Set Up a Virtual Phone Number

To allow viewers to call in, you first need a virtual phone number that supports web-based calling.

  1. Sign up for a Zadarma account (or any similar VoIP provider that offers web calls).
  2. Purchase a Virtual Phone Number that fits your audience’s region.
  3. Set up your call routing to ensure calls go through the web interface.

Step 2: Share Your Call Tab in Evmux

Once your virtual phone number is active and accessible via a web call interface, the next step is to bring it into Evmux.

  1. Open the Zadarma web call interface in a separate browser tab.
  2. Join your Evmux studio and start your live stream or prepare your scene.
  3. Use the “Share Screen” feature in Evmux and select the Zadarma tab.
  4. Place the screen share on the stage but keep it hidden behind another element (e.g., a background image, overlay, or another widget) so it’s not visible to viewers.

Step 3: Enhance the Call-In Experience with an Audio Visualizer

To make the call-in experience even more engaging, add an Audio Visualizer Widget in Evmux that reacts to the caller’s voice.

  1. Add an Audio Visualizer widget to your scene in Evmux.
  2. Connect the widget to the shared screen’s audio so that it reacts to the caller’s voice in real-time.
  3. Customize the visualizer to match your stream’s aesthetic, making it blend seamlessly into your live show.

Why This Works

  • Seamless Integration: This method allows you to bring live phone calls into your Evmux stream without additional software.
  • Professional Look: Hiding the call tab behind an overlay keeps your production clean.
  • Dynamic Visuals: The Audio Visualizer gives viewers a visual representation of the caller’s voice, adding a polished touch to your broadcast.

Conclusion

With a simple VoIP service and Evmux’s built-in screen-sharing feature, you can bring a fully functional Call-In system to your live streams. By adding an Audio Visualizer, you enhance the experience, making it more interactive and visually appealing. Give it a try and elevate your audience engagement to the next level!
