Share Video

Context

Live-streaming has become a popular channel for brands to communicate with their online visitors. Besides this, online visitors became familiar with the concept of live-streaming and perceive this channel as interactive and informative. Online visitors almost expect a brand to be live the time that they visit their website.

Problem

Brands are struggling to keep up with the demand of online visitors to constantly see live content on their website. It is a battle of resources and proving the value of the live-streaming channels.
