4 Most Common Mistakes Made When Livestreaming

Live Streaming Singapore - In this day and age, livestreaming has become a popular medium with platforms and services such as Facebook, Twitch and Zoom all dedicated to promoting livestreams to millions of avid viewers. With a camera and a laptop or computer, anyone can easily livestream to a wide array of people on the Internet. However, livestreaming isn't always as easy as it seems and there are bound to be mistakes made which could jeopardize your career before it even begins. Hence, let us take a look at four common mistakes beginners and even veterans can make when livestreaming:

Failure to plan ahead of time

Time management is always a vital component of any task, and livestreaming is no different. The tangible difference between executing a successful livestream and a horrible live streaming Singapore disaster of epic proportions is how well you plan for your livestream ahead of time. To ensure everyone goes according to plan as well as possible, you have to rely on the following: make sure the content you're going to put out is of some interest to your audience, and pick out topics that you think your audience might enjoy not just stuff you might personally like. Also, test your equipment properly to ensure there are no mess-ups when you begin your broadcast.

Insufficient promotion of your livestream

Sometimes, your livestream might be a major fail due to insufficient promotion online on social media. In order to prevent this issue, go to social media sites where your potential audience might hang out often before creating posts catering to their live streaming Singapore whims and needs. For example, if your audience has a tendency to spend time on Twitter, create an account there if you don't have one and create some stylish posts there to promote your livestream. You can even promote your channel page across all relevant social media platforms and link your various accounts to help boost engagement.

Poor streaming quality

Poor quality streams can sometimes make or break your livestream in the worst ways possible. So, in order to avoid this horrendous issue, make sure to ascertain you have sufficient bandwidth to ensure you don't encounter any live streaming Singapore issues and problems. It's always best to use a dedicated router/modem that has its own bandwidth, rather than relying on your home's Wi-Fi which is shared and thus prone to any forms of signal attenuation or absorption loss.

Your event is not interactive enough

On live streaming Singapore services and sites such as Twitch and Facebook, you have the opportunity to utilize chats and other forms of interaction to further interact with your audience. This helps create a sort of parasocial relationship whereby both the streamer and the audience can interact with each other. To create a proper setup for this, you would have to include the ability to respond to any forms of feedback, comments and questions, include graphics and other forms of visual interaction to engage viewers and also introduce gamification and awards to entice viewers to further engage in the proceedings at large.
