With Streaming on the Rise DYI but its not all that.
The rise of broadband internet and lower-cost video equipment has caused a boom in live streaming. It’s easier than ever to turn your living room, bedroom, basement, or closet into a production-quality internet TV station. Twitch, the most popular live streaming platform, has over 92,000 live broadcasts and more than 2.4 million viewers online as I’m writing this (these numbers increase at night and on weekends).
Streaming on Twitch, or its main competitors YouTube TV, Facebook Live, and Instagram is totally free. That’s not even taking into account Zoom meetings, FaceTime or Skype calls where you’re interacting with your colleagues and friends on camera.
But as much as a live stream is based on the content you provide, you also want to make sure you’re putting your best face — and footage — forward. Nothing ruins a live stream quite like a shaky camera and too-dark image.
