Livestreaming enables broadcasts from any location

What is Livestreaming?

In its simplest form, livestreaming is the transmission of audio and video over data networks. It differs from traditional file uploading in that the recipient can start watching the video even if only a small part of the data has arrived. Streaming can be done either from pre-recorded video material or as a real-time broadcast. Real-time streaming, or live streaming, has become increasingly popular in recent years and is slowly replacing traditional live TV broadcasts, as streaming also reaches viewers on mobile devices and computers. Live streaming is not difficult in itself, but it can require some familiarity with the equipment and services involved, especially for beginners.

Livestreaming can be used for training, information, sporting events, educational events, parties, galas, corporate retreats, etc. The list goes on and on and the interest rate pandemic has contributed to the increased need for live streaming. In addition to quality equipment, live streaming requires professionalism and technical know-how on the part of the streamer. Different types of interactivity can be built into the broadcast, or a larger virtual event can be created around it. Aslo Media is always looking for new ways to make its broadcasts more impactful. We work with the in-country virtual platform Live.to to develop better experiences for our customers.

Different ways of livestreaming

There are numerous streaming services on the internet today, most of which are even completely free of charge. All you have to do is create an account with the service of your choice and then follow the simple steps to start live streaming. Live streaming can be done on mobile devices, on a computer or with a special encoder. For example, Facebook livestreams are often done on a mobile device. Streaming via webcam is suitable for fast live streaming on a computer. Streaming is heavy on the computer, so in professional productions it is done with a separate encoder.

The quality of live streaming is paramount, as poor picture or sound quality will quickly drive viewers away. The most important element of all is a good internet connection. The upload speed of the internet is important in livestreaming and there should be enough "headroom" or unused bandwidth. When streaming full HD images, the upload speed should be at least 10mbps. Nowadays, all or some of the performers are often remote, so bandwidth is also consumed to maintain their connections.

Live streaming is possible on the internet through a number of different channels, the most popular of which are YouTube, Facebook and Twitch, which is particularly used for streaming game videos. Aslo Media uses an internet bonding solution to connect multiple mobile and other internet connections, where necessary, to ensure the stability of the stream. Backup, failover, testing and double testing. These are the things we believe in and that make our customers choose Aslo Media again.
