The Best Platforms For Live Streaming

According to statistics, a lot of people enjoy watching streams whenever they have free time. For users streams can be considered a good way to monetize their hobby and do what they love the most. 

In this article we’re going to show you the most prominent platform where you can stream and gain popularity. 

The first panel on our list is Twitch. This platform attracts the best and ambitious streamers across the world. Here you can start from the very beginning and reach desirable results if you try, the audience here is enormous. Twitch allows you to post gameplays, letsplays, and IRL streaming. We highly advise you to opt for this platform as gameplays live streams here occupy more than 50% of the whole content. Moreover, when people want to watch gameplays or live streams, they choose Twitch over other platforms where such streams can also be posted. 

If your content complies with the requirements, you’ll get a chance to join a program for partners and monetize your content. Importantly, you can stream from your laptop, computer, and even mobile. One of the benefits of using Twitch is that live streams can be saved and then shared on other social media platforms as short clips that help streamers to attract more viewers and become more recognizable outside the platform. There are three ways of monetization that include subscription for which users pay, “donut” and advertisements. 

The second platform where you can live stream is Youtube. This platform allows you to stream about any topic, you can stream how you play a game, your unboxing process, dancing class, lectures and so on. Here you’re free to post anything  you want and feel like sharing. People come on Youtube to get to know something new or to spend their free time. If you’re new to streaming it is highly advisable to start with Youtube because of its algorithms, gain popularity and work on your social image and then go to stream on Twitch. On Youtube once you’ve done with streaming, you can watch these videos and even add them to a playlist for your followers. This platform also offers a Partner Program if your channel complies with certain requirements. You can profit from advertising, subscriptions and donuts the same way it is done on Twitch.

The next platform where you can live stream your content is Instagram. Indeed, on Instagram you can choose to live stream but note that on the platform there’s no opportunity to stream games, only IRL topics. All the videos will be recorded vertically and you  can do that only by using your mobile device. Importantly, the platform doesn’t offer any internal tools for content monetization. Once you’ve done with the stream you can download the video you just ended and share it in your stories. 

The last platform that we’d like to elaborate on is Facebook. This platform can be also considered to be one of the most convenient one to stream videos. Here you get an opportunity to post streams that are not connected with gaming. The main focus on streams on Facebook is, for example, webinars for business audiences on Facebook as for now streams about gaming are not that actively viewed on the platform. You can live stream from mobile devices and computers. After you’re done streaming you can save a video on your page. 

In general, we've come up with 4 different platforms where you can stream your content. Also, we illustrated some of the major peculiarities of each of these platforms so you can understand where it would be better for you to post.
