Meta's Threads platform is introducing Live Chats to enhance real-time engagement, starting with NBA Playoffs communities. The feature allows up to 150 active participants with media sharing and spectator mode. This represents Threads' ongoing effort to compete with X (formerly Twitter) by adding real-time conversation capabilities.
Background
Threads is Meta's text-based social platform launched to compete with Twitter/X, initially lacking many real-time features that made Twitter popular for live events and breaking news.
