The company has been developing its APIs fast, including adding moderation capabilities - an attractive feature in an age that increasingly prioritizes ‘clean’ online communication. Among its newest set of capabilities is Sendbird Live, combining livestream with chat to enable companies to create new and engaging experiences from a single tool.
