A Great Resource to Help You With Live Streaming
Dr. Rose Hayden-Smith
Recently, I’ve been involved in a number of livestream activities: at work, church and with organizations I’m involved in. Live stream is ideal for this time because:
- The barriers to entry are low (no cost);
- The technologies are generally ones we’re using;
- Can be done via phone or computer;
- The process is fairly easy; and
- Live streams can really help boost engagement…and create a sense of connection, which is so critical right now.
We’ve all been on live streams that didn’t work well, for any number of reasons (including bandwidth). Want to goof-proof your next effort? Read this article from Hootsuite Blog (my favorite). It’s almost a master class and provides easy-to-follow steps for:
- Using Facebook Live
- Mastering Instagram Live
- Surprising your professional contacts by going live on LinkedIn. (My drumbeat for you is that LinkedIn is under-utilized by many of us, and it’s a great platform with robust features that supports live video and publishing. Use it!)
- How to go live on Twitter
- How to go live on YouTube
Bonus? Seven tips for successful live streaming.
