Live streaming has changed the way we engage with our entertainment. Instead of waiting for edited highlights or a finished programme, we can simply tune in to anyone’s live stream, from anywhere in the world. From major competitions to informal streams, live streaming creates a sense of freedom and immediacy while allowing us to engage with content through comments, reactions, and live discussions. It’s important to note that this is only one part of a much wider live entertainment landscape. As such, the lasting effect of live streaming is about more than speed.
