The evolution of social TV has been significantly influenced by advances in technology, particularly the widespread adoption of high-speed internet and the proliferation of smart devices capable of streaming high-quality video content. These technological advancements have made it easier than ever for viewers to access television content and share their experiences in real-time. Moreover, television networks and content producers are increasingly leveraging these technologies to create integrated campaigns that encourage viewer interaction. For instance, reality shows and live broadcasts often incorporate viewer votes and social media feedback directly into their programming, influencing the course of the show based on real-time viewer input.

Social TV is an interactive technology that merges television with social media, transforming the traditionally passive experience of watching TV into an active, engaging, and communal event. This integration allows viewers to see and react to content in real-time using smartphones, tablets, and computers to comment on, share, and discuss their viewing experiences on social media platforms. The main aim of social TV is to enhance the viewing experience by fostering a sense of community among viewers scattered geographically but united by shared interests in specific shows, events, or genres. Features common in social TV applications include live tweeting, real-time polling, and second-screen applications that provide supplementary content or interactive experiences synchronized with the broadcast. These features enable viewers to engage not only with the content but also with other fans, creating a rich, multi-dimensional viewing experience that extends beyond the screen.
