# Sports Platforms (Club Apps, Fitness Apps, Sports-related media, etc)

Make online sports as engaging as offline: let fans gather and support their teams, let couches provide online trainings, and allow sports enthusiasts to gather people to participate in challenges.

*Please the document to choose how to gather audience in rooms:<https://docs.watchers.io/docs/approach-to-gathering-or-splitting-audiences-in-rooms#/>*

## **The ways chats can work**

### **Public platform-driven chats**

- The general public chat for all users can be endless. Users can join the chat at any time to discuss what they watch or events//athletes//leagues they attentively follow, and exchange ideas and thoughts about different topics. Chat can play the role of a lobby for the fitness community, or a general feed for sports-related media.


- The separate chats for different games/events/trainings/challenges will last until the main event finishes.

### **Private platform-driven chats**

Editorial private chats are accessible via an invitation link or open only to a special cohort of users.

They can be used for challenges, temporary projects, tournaments, or for anything where the community can meet and discuss anything.
