You would not find enough time to engage your viewers in real-time and may miss a number of comments. This can frustrate your audience as they don’t feel connected to your content. With pre-recording your content, presenters have enough time to read the questions coming in during the presentation and thus gather their views for the Q&A or chat sessions.
