Live Stream

A live stream is real-time video broadcast to a social media audience.

Live streams are used for launches, Q&A sessions, webinars, behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and community events.

Because viewers can interact while the stream is happening, live video can create a stronger sense of immediacy and connection.

Live streams usually perform better with a simple run of show, a clear host, prepared questions, moderation support, and a plan for repurposing the recording afterward.
