Drive Live Interaction with Second Screen Web Apps
Give your fans a reason to take action
You already have an audience. The next step is getting to know them.
Dizplai’s second-screen web apps turn the watching experience into an active one.
Offer your audience content they feel part of. Because when they do, they stop being anonymous and become part of your story.
What is a second screen web app?
A second-screen web app is a branded digital destination that gives fans something to do while they watch, and a reason to come back when they’re not. Fans reach it by scanning a QR code during a broadcast or clicking a link on social, and within seconds they’re into a fully branded experience: no app download, no lengthy sign-up, no friction. You get a fan profile that builds with every visit, every interaction, and every activation across your calendar.
Sports organisations, broadcasters, and publishers use second-screen web apps not just to activate fans around live events, but to build an always-on relationship with them. A viewer who watches every match but has never registered directly with you is still anonymous. A second-screen web app gives them a reason to step forward, and a reason to keep showing up.
How it works
The web app journey
Fans land on the web app either via a QR code shown during a live broadcast, or a link shared across your social channels.
They’re met with live interactive content straight away: a poll, a prediction, a quiz, whatever fits your activation.
They engage before being asked for anything in return. When they’re ready to submit their answer, they create a verified account in seconds.
First-party data
From that point, the relationship begins. Every time a fan returns, whether for a live event, a between-season activation, or a piece of always-on content, their profile builds. You learn what they engage with, when they show up, and what keeps them coming back.
That’s not just data. It’s an opportunity more chances to sell to audiences directly, to monetise through sponsorships, and to build personalised experiences with known audiences.
The user experience
The web app is fully branded to your organisation via the Dizplai Theme Builder.
Your colours, fonts, logos, and commercial asset slots all configured without bespoke development, which means you can be live in days rather than months.
7 reasons to build a second-screen web app
1) Turn passive viewers into an owned fan base
Every fan who watches your content on broadcast or social is anonymous or ‘rented’ until they register directly with you. A second-screen web app gives them a compelling reason to do that. The result is a verified, growing database that no algorithm can take away.
2) Build fan profiles that grow with every interaction
Over time, as fans return for polls, predictions, and live moments, their profile deepens: engagement history, content preferences, favourite players, behavioural patterns. The longer a fan stays in your ecosystem, the better you know them, and the more precisely you can tailor their experience and target your commercial partners.
3. Create a live loop between the second screen and the broadcast
Fan responses submitted on a phone update live on the broadcast graphics your audience is watching. That connection between second screen and main screen is what turns a passive viewer into an active participant, and it’s accessible to every sponsor watching too.
4) Launch and see results in days
There’s no app to build and no bespoke development required. Brand assets, colours, fonts, and commercial slots are all configured through the Theme Builder. From brief to live can be measured in days, not a lengthy development cycle.
5) Create high-value sponsorship inventory
Engagement without a commercial model is wasted potential. Authenticated audiences are worth significantly more to commercial partners than anonymous ones. Branded, commercial asses throughout the fan journey give partners visibility tied to real, verified people rather than impressions.
6) Build a platform that grows with you
Web apps support an expanding library of interactive formats: predictor games, fantasy leagues, quizzes, leaderboards, mini-games, and more. Subscription tiers, merchandise, and e-commerce sit alongside them, so every fan you register is part of an audience you can engage and monetise over time.
7) Engagement beyond the game
With so much content fighting for your fans’ attention once the game ends, second screen web apps give them a reason to step forward, at any moment, whether as an always-on digital experience or during a broadcast.

Do fans need to download an app?
No. The second-screen web app runs in any mobile browser. Fans scan a QR code or click a link and they’re straight into the experience, with no download and no barrier to entry.
Who owns the fan data?
You do. We can work with you in a number of ways, whether that’s passing data directly to you, integrating with your existing sign-on solutions, or helping you build a first-party database from scratch. Get in touch and we’ll talk through which data integration approach works best for your setup.
How quickly can a second-screen web app go live?
Once we have your brand assets, colours, fonts, and content, you can be live in days. There’s no labour-intensive development required and no lengthy build process.
What do you need from us to get started?
Your brand assets are the starting point: logo, colours, fonts, and any commercial partner logos or images you want included. Beyond that, we’ll need to know what interactive content you want to launch with and which channels you’ll be driving fans from. We’ll guide you through the rest.
