Streaming platforms
There are many ways of broadcasting a live stream on the internet. Here are the different platforms available.
The streaming platforms
Dedicated website, social networks, specific streaming platforms, simultaneous broadcasts…
We offer many solutions to ensure that your livestream is seen by a maximum number of viewers.
It’s up to you to choose the one that best suits your objectives. And why not choose several?
Dedicated website
This solution is interesting for one-off events. Your live event is integrated on a website with a customisable visual identity and all the relevant information: registration form, programme, list of speakers, sponsors, documents or additional information. If necessary, several features can be added to the website pages, in order to boost the interaction with your audience. Here is an example of a website for a digital event that can be customised
Vimeo Livestream
Vimeo Livestream is a simple and powerful way to broadcast your event on several streaming platforms at once, without the appearance of ads. It is also one of the broadcasting platforms that offers excellent practical tools: polls or multiple choice questions can be integrated and, if necessary, a chat window allows your viewers to interact with the content. Finally, Vimeo Livestream gives you full control over the use and access to your content through private broadcasts or password protection.
YouTube Live
Because it has a huge number of daily users, the YouTube Live streaming platform is generally favoured by start-ups and SMEs that want to reach a very large audience. It is also a very practical platform when you want to monetise the broadcasting of a live event (whether it is a hybrid, virtual or webinar). Although limited in terms of functionality, YouTube Live does provide automatic live subtitle generation (but only in English).
Facebook Live
Facebook live is one of the streaming platforms that is very useful for building your brand, increasing audience engagement on social networks or increasing awareness. By choosing to broadcast your livestream on this platform, it also allows you to categorise your viewers and discover the types of content they need. Finally, if your livestream is successful, your page will also get a boost from the Facebook algorithm.
If LinkedIn is one of your preferred networks and you have a large number of followers, then Linkedin Live is very interesting. Available for your personal LinkedIn profile or your LinkedIn company page, these livestreams can be offered to targeted groups or to your entire community. Moreover, connected users can interact directly with you, and this creates a real relationship in real time.
Twitch
Twitch is THE social network platform dedicated entirely to live content broadcasting. It offers extremely powerful interaction tools for you to communicate with your viewers. The focus here is on interactions between speakers and their audience, thanks to the possibility to reward viewers who follow the stream, subscribe to the channel and participate. This platform allows you to create a unique link with your community.
Plateformes de Livestreams
Finally, there are many other broadcasting platforms where users can upload their video content, either live or recorded. This content can then be shared on social networks or directly integrated on a dedicated website, without any advertising. Both live and pre-recorded content can also be made available to viewers on a paid basis.
