TV Stations Shift into Live Streaming is Easier with Freedocast Cloud Playout Solutions

The rise of Netflix serves as an exemplification in the discussion about the shift in viewership from television to live streaming. It is not just the young audience that is aiding the shift but the generation before it as well.

Owing to this, the television networks are shifting their services online through OTT networks like YuppTV through which they are enabling users to watch their favorite programs anytime they wish. As time passed by the biggest of networks came up with their own live streaming platforms like hotstar, Sonyliv, etc., where they offered all the shows in live in real time with segregation of the previous episodes to catch up any time the audience considers.

Following Netflix, the networks are coming up with their own content in addition to the content by various production houses that are added periodically. This own content generated by the live streaming networks are made available to the audience for binge-watching leaving no room for any kind of pauses in the interim.

Watch the most thrilling game of Asia Cup: India vs Pakistan Live on YuppTV

Most of the audience who follow cricket religiously might or mightn’t follow all the matches their respective country plays but will surely watch any match between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan. India Pakistan cricket matches are the most watched matches in the world and the increased percentage of people living abroad from both the nations, have contributed to the increase in sales of matches regardless of which country they are organized in. 

India and Pakistan don’t just share a reputation of excelling in cricket, but they also share a mutual hostility towards each other in and out of the game. This makes any game between both the countries wildly exciting, relentlessly serious, and emotionally determined towards winning which is what all the sports fans crave for in any match they watch. Be it the strained political history or the mutually existing abhorrence between the two nations the players though play on an amicable level, put in a superlative effort to attain a victory and make their respective nations proud.

Given the cricket history between the nations, neither of them is said to have an upper hand over the other. Though a majority of ODI and Test matches have been won by Pakistan, India had tasted victory in more ICC as well as Continental tournaments than Pakistan. During the past few years, India has constantly dominating Pakistan in cricket tournaments and one can expect this kind of performance in tomorrow’s match too.

The same can be a motivating factor for Pakistan which can make the team put in maximum effort and secure a win in the upcoming match. Regardless of who wins this callous fight, the match is predicted by the history to be an edge of the seat action.

Here’s a New Idea – Live Streaming of Book Reviews

Books are something that has not only helped and entertained humanity but also made them intelligent, creative, and self-aware. It has been centuries since their emergence and since then they have been with us empowering along the way. Even in the digital world, books have transformed into e-books but haven’t lost their importance in the eyes of human beings. To this day, books are the favorite pastime for a significant number of people.

And reviewing those books to help people who are interested has been a great business module for years. Book Reviews attract more users since people love to hear what equal minds have to say about an art form they love. And for those that are in a dilemma of whether or not to choose a particular book, reviews become a source to take the next step- choose or refrain.

Book reviewing has been confined to comments section under the page where a book is sold or to some websites like Goodreads. One element that alters with the comments and reviews from anonymous sources and a source that is alive and breathing in front of them is the human element. One cannot trust a source just because he has written some great things about a certain book as there exists no confirmation of who the person is and whom he is working for, and this compels the reader to read more reviews just to confirm the truth.

Various individuals by creating Youtube channels have established their credibility in time and have earned the trust of the people who in turn become followers of that particular channel. Imagine speaking to an audience in live, with the same scale of credibility and in different social media platforms simultaneously. It is a great idea that can help you reach a larger number of the audience but also requires massive amounts of preparation.

A review in its basic sense must tell the people what the best and worst parts of a book are without revealing the plot. Doing a review offline, one can edit and re-edit the video till he gets the perfect version of his review but doing it in live, it might necessitate the reviewer to jot down all the points that he needs to speak about, practice it a million times to make it perfect for an audience and deliver it exactly to gain the expected reach.

Though this seems harder it is a perfect medium for a reviewer to say what he thinks of the book and how it can help the people. The one element that differs live stream from offline videos is that it leaves no chance for falsity and pretention. The only thing a person can do is to improvise on the spot which can help the viewers see through a live streamer’s content and evaluate his integrity in its deliverance.

Using Freedocast, this thought can be materialized and can become the beginning of a whole new era that unites two different worlds. The Live streaming process and the elements to take care of, can be found in our other articles here:
