“Ask Me Anything Sessions” – Take it up a Notch Through Freedocast Pro Live Streaming Platform

On
One of the many benefits of Live Streaming is the enhanced interaction of Live Streamers with their audience. Be it a Live Learning session, a Workout, or a Live Interview, Freedocast’s Live Chat option will make audience interaction better than ever.
It is not uncommon for us to see actresses and celebrities conducting an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) sessions on their Instagram or Facebook pages. Users will be asking some questions in chat and celebrities will answer them instantaneously on video. This works great with trivia and with topics that require just verbal explanations. Even if the video is available, the level of clarity that can be achieved using a smartphone would not prove adequate for purposes where a great level of detail is required.
There are live streams that require explanations through various means like charts, figures, videos, etc. It is nearly impossible to conduct AMA sessions for streams like these where vocals are good, but the video is rusty. This complication can be overcome by using a high-resolution video camera but then arises the problem of gaining the input and streaming the video. One can use software to stream but the third-party software might be unreliable. This is where live streaming devices come in. Live streaming devices like Freedocast lets you connect a high-resolution camera and a microphone to the device and streams it directly on your set destinations.
Before jumping into how live streaming devices assist, let us see what kind of topics require a high-resolution video and audio and how live streaming devices are beneficial in this.
Live Online Tutoring
Live Online Tutoring of subjects requires a session where a tutor is required to clear his doubts on the spot. Some subjects require elaborate solutions, charts, diagrams, or other means in order for the learner to understand better. These necessitate the streamer to zoom in on the diagrams or change the screens in order to explain better. Some explanations demand video analogies for better understanding. For these, a Smartphone with a Camera is never adequate.

Corporate Interactive Sessions

A President of a Large Organization doesn’t often gain a chance to interact with the employees. “Ask me Anything” sessions help bring out the morale of the employees and is the best way to exchange ideas. Significant announcements that deliver good news to the employees or the company can be announced through these sessions by the President or the CEO of the company.
As mentioned, Live Streaming Devices like Freedocast Pro would work wonders for these tasks. The high-resolution camera and the microphone makes up for the a/v clarity. The device can stream directly to the select social media platforms and RTMP URLs without extra effort. The options can be selected using the Freedocast Pro App. “How To Go Live On Facebook Using Freedocast”

Repurposing Live Videos is Great Way to Extend your Reach

On
Creating a great live stream video requires plenty of time and energy. The setting up of equipment, lighting, sound, not to mention the research that goes into preparing your material, the practice it takes to present the content right and the actual presentation is an overwhelming amount of work that cannot be easily reproduced. And all of this work goes to waste if the live videos you make are not recorded and repurposed to use later.


Repurposing a live stream video means using the recorded live stream video to promote your future live streams later. If you have great content in your live stream, you can divide the video into bits and share them on social media platforms. Post-event marketing is as important as pre-event marketing. We have discussed methods of increasing the audience reach by promoting your event online for weeks before the live-event in our previous article “How to Advertise your Pre-Planned Live Streaming Event on Social Media”.
This brings the audience to your event and after the stream, the video will not be available anywhere except the platform on which you streamed which restricts your reach of a new audience after the event. Repurposing lets you make use of this situation by letting you reach a new audience after the event which in turn will reflect in your future streams.
Platforms like Freedocast offer features like Live DVR which records and archives live streams in your account. The audience who have already watched your live stream can open the video and watch it again. You can also share the link in social media platforms to gain a new audience, but it wouldn’t provide the audience with the faintest idea of what the video is about. Besides, all the latest studies suggest that the audience are more interested to watch short 2-3-minute videos than an hour-long one.
So, it makes more sense to separate the best sections of your video and share them separately on various media. You can also upload the summary of the video by trimming it while making sure to maintain the gist of your content. You can also turn it into a podcast and share it on various podcast websites to increase the rich. Making a blog post on the content explained in the video and sharing it on your blog or on guest posting sites will also help you reach more people. Make sure you inform the audience of your next live streaming event or direct them to your website or channel.
Doing all these regularly will certainly increase your audience reach and helps earn the much-needed attention to your content. So, the next time you plan your live stream, plan it such a way that you can use bits of content later.
