Live, Linear, and On-Demand Broadcasts

Why is TV still breaking audience records all over the world? Why is radio still such a popular medium? At Livestream, we believe in the value of a 24/7 linear viewing experience, in which an audience can discover new content, chosen by a name they trust. We give producers the power to create more engaging programming and drastically increase their audience retention through synchronised linear broadcast, just like you see on television.

What is '24/7 linear' ?

When you are not live, viewers can tune in and watch your 24/7 linear Livestream broadcast just like traditional TV.

Your 24/7 linear feed is programmed from a looping list of video clips you have imported into your library or recorded live. All viewers will see the same content at any given point in time. This makes social interactions, like chat, significantly more relevant and helps retain viewers as you transition from one video to the next. Keeping your audience engaged for longer periods of time, around-the-clock, will increase your content exposure and viewing minutes dramatically.

In the future, we will also offer full time-based scheduling for your channel.

No more black screens

Your viewers can tune in to a 24/7 linear stream hours before a live broadcast. Unlike competing live streaming solutions, when you go live with Livestream, you transition seamlessly from your 24/7 linear feed to your live stream within the same player. More importantly, when your live broadcast is complete, you can transition your audience back to 24/7 linear programming without losing any viewers in the process. With Livestream, you can go far beyond single event based live broadcasting and keep your viewers on your channel for longer.

What about on-demand ?

We don't believe that you should have to choose between live, 24/7 linear and on-demand content delivery, which is why we offer all three, built right into the same player.

Our best of breed video-on-demand solution is fully integrated and includes support for long form videos (even movies) and fast seeking to any point in a clip. You can populate it in realtime from the Livestream Studio with live recordings, YouTube clips, Media RSS feeds or content you have uploaded. These videos can even be directly linked or embedded by your viewers for increased viral distribution.
