We live in a time when a brand’s ability to reach its customers online has never been more important. The same is true of individual entrepreneurs, influencers and others. This is where live streaming video comes in. While the popularity of YouTube has long proven video’s importance in the online world, live video’s surge is relatively recent, and is still often overlooked by marketers.
A report from IAB found that by the end of 2018, 67 percent of internet users had streamed live videos, with 47 percent saying they had increased their live streaming over the year before. In fact, Go Globe estimates that as much as 82 percent of online traffic will be dedicated to live video by the end of 2020.
