What is livestreaming?
to broadcast an event on the internet as it happens
Livestreaming technology lets you watch, create, and share videos in real time, a bit like live TV.
All you need to be able to livestream is an internet-enabled device, like a computer, smartphone or tablet, and a platform to livestream from, such as Twitch.
