Live streaming is easy. Grab your smartphone, log in to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Periscope, Zoom, etc. Almost, if not all, social media platforms offer a live streaming option. You can live stream from a computer and share your desktop during the stream. Using a phone or tablet gives you mobility. The choice of device to stream from will be guided by the result you want and the content you will be streaming.
How you live stream will influence where. Mobile devices can offer a degree of flexibility that is not easily achieved with a computer. A laptop falls somewhere in between. If you are going to be streaming an outdoor event, a mobile device; smartphone or tablet, makes the most sense. If you need to share files or video, sharing a screen is very easy on a computer. Some platforms will let you share information from a mobile device but the screen size may influence how easily you accomplish this. Basically, live streaming can be done anywhere, anytime.
The ability to reach an audience has never been easier. The ability to connect to others virtually, especially now, is comforting. I think this is one of the biggest changes that will carry forward into our “new normal”. Please share your thoughts in the comments.
