Live-stream

The term 'live-stream' refers to the immediate real-time broadcasting of video and/or audio content over the internet on various social media platforms, which allow for user interactions that make one feel more connected with a live audience. This interactive and more immediate format of sharing one's life events or activities tends to serve purposes like Q&A sessions, gaming, and giving off personal updates that aren't well-polished, but are easy ways for an audience to feel connected with a user. Producers of content that can serve either better marketing or entertainment employ 'live-streaming' as a viable means of generating income—that is, if a digital audience is more valuable than statically scrolling through a feed of manicured life moments.
