Live Stream Insiders is a news show about live video that is itself broadcast as a live stream. Krishna De and Peter Stewart host, and each episode works as a rundown: a handful of stories announced at the top, then taken one at a time. People watching are invited to leave comments and questions, and links to the tools and reports mentioned are posted after the broadcast. The platform coverage is broad. Facebook turns up through a report on Facebook Watch and a pointed question about whether Facebook Live really delivers strong organic reach. Twitter appears through a tool for clipping live video, and one episode title, 'How To Add Geo Restrictions To Your Live Stream Promotions On Twitter', shows how specific the how-to material can get. There is also news about Hangouts on Air, a new Instagram feature flagged as a possible route to more visits for streams and replays, and an episode called 'LinkedIn Guide To Live Streaming'. Tools get close, practical attention. In the BeLive Studio 2 beta, guests can share their own screen, turn off their camera or mute their microphone if a fire engine goes by, and viewer comments can still be put on screen. StreamYard comes up alongside it, and viewers who already use it are asked for their verdict. Safety is the thread Peter Stewart says keeps coming round. He runs from Meerkat, Periscope and Blab through to Facebook Live and Twitter, suggesting those platforms perhaps did not foresee how the safety question would develop, then points to Live Me teaming up with Bark. Elsewhere, one platform's five-day live video trial arrives with published rules requiring streams to be safe for work and barring hoax promotions and highly offensive content. Then come the uses. Krishna De sets out how to plan Christmas streams for events, sales and holiday marketing, and suggests posting a short extract of a longer stream with a clickable link back. She looks at organisations using live streaming in education, recalls watching the Pope's visit streamed across several platforms to see how organisations handled it, and talks through funeral homes that offer streaming for a fee. Her advice there is that a close relative might ask someone else to run the stream. She describes her own focus as marketing and employee communications, credits Peter Stewart's journalistic background and his weekly habit of going live from a mobile device, and names crisis communications as another area the pair look at. Some episodes are hers alone, with Peter Stewart unable to join. Titles such as 'How Charities Can Enhance Donations Using Live Streaming' and 'Planning your Holiday Live Streams' keep the emphasis on what an organisation can actually do with a live stream.
Made for: Suits a listener who handles marketing, internal communications or reporting for an organisation and wants to keep up with new live streaming features, studio tools and safety rules as they change.
What sets it apart: It treats live video as a working tool for organisations. Platform news and close looks at studios like BeLive and StreamYard sit beside concrete uses, from Christmas sales to funeral streams, and the show runs as a live stream itself, viewer questions included.
