Mobile Live Streaming Innovations in 2021
The mobile live streaming industry is growing faster than ever, as more users are utilizing their phones to broadcast across the internet. With plentiful beginner-friendly apps available, live streaming from Android or iPhone has never been easier. As a result, mobile streaming is being used in new innovative ways in 2021.
Here, we’ve compiled some of our favourite reasons why mobile live streaming is changing the future this year.
It’s Changing How We Receive News
News outlets moving online has been a growing trend, leaving newspapers in the dust. But recently, journalists and news anchors have been live streaming from iPhones and Androids to share the news.
Instead of pushing to get an article written a published, journalists can simply live stream directly to mobiles. This gives people the most instant access to current events and gives journalists a greater platform to share content. Viewers can get updates on your phone instantly as they happen.
It’s Making Education More Accessible
Mobile live streaming for Androids and iPhones has also opened the door to accessible education worldwide. This is incredibly valuable to people who otherwise may not have access to knowledge and opportunities they may not otherwise have.
Most stream apps have an Android or IOS RTMP, or real-time processing tool, which makes streaming possible. This means any educator with a phone can broadcast to widely accessible websites such as Twitch or YouTube.
It’s Influencing Businesses
Online live conferencing has been essential for business in the last year. Whether they’re conferencing from their own homes or talking with someone half the world away, live streaming has helped employees, clients, and investors stay connected.
However, this isn’t a trend that’s going away. In a recent study, over half of the business owners surveyed said they would continue remote work and live streaming post-pandemic. With applications like Zoom, it’s easy for businesses of all computer literacy levels to log on and host meetings. And with an iOS or Android RTMP, they can even do so on the go from their phones.
Being confined to an office is suddenly a huge inconvenience for business owners in 2021. With meetings via mobile live streaming, there’s more room for flexibility.
It’s Impacting The Entertainment Industry
As much as we love movies, they have stiff competition with live streaming as entertainment. During quarantine, celebrities tried live streaming from iPhones and Androids, and viewers showed up in high numbers. And we can only expect more people to continue watching their favourite streamers this year.
It’s not only highly accessible to everyone, but it’s also convenient. It allows for easy and natural collaboration between content creators, and co-hosting features allow two creators to pool and expand their respective audiences.
The quality of entertainment streams is also improving rapidly. In fact, when compared to Video on Demand speeds, live streams now have better buffering and start time speeds.
Final Thoughts
Through education, entertainment, and employment, we’re seeing live streaming take on a bigger role in our lives. Now that 5.22 billion people have access to Android and iOS RTMP, participation will only be going up, and the innovations will continue.
Expect improvements in technology, more flexibility with work-related meetings, and frequent updates from your favourite celebrities and journalists.
