As a result, the demands for a quality livestream are increasingly emphasized. Understanding the needs of businesses, Thu Do Multimedia and Sigma Livestreaming are the perfect solution for you.

Why is Livestreaming important?

Livestream is a form of interaction between sellers and customers, thereby creating customer demand for the products that businesses offer. Therefore, the ability to connect with the author is the key to making exchanges and sales of goods easier and more convenient.
Creating a strong connection with the audience, increasing trust and loyalty is the key to the success of a livestream with listeners. And it is also through these direct forms that businesses can integrate technology to increase customer interaction even more than before.

The ultimate goal of a livestream or any other communication activity is to collect potential leads and turn them into conversions. This is applied to almost all online and offline advertising models today.
But compared to traditional advertising models, Livestreaming has more strengths than conventional advertising forms, which is the ability to interact. The audience does not have to go to the place to directly experience the product, but now, all they need is an electronic device. Consumers can completely participate at any time, in any livestream they want, including product introductions or seminars without having to go anywhere.

Also from watching the livestreaming, users are more inclined to buy tickets directly to those seminars when they have experienced what they see on the Internet. This is also the key to the success of many businesses operating on digital platforms. T

Challenges of Livestreaming

Facing the strong wave of Livestreaming, businesses operating in the digital field, especially in the television and education industries, are witnessing the strongest developments. However, livestreaming on current platforms still raises big questions about quality as well as consumer experience, such as:

Images are the first thing we access. And what’s worse is that the first experience is what makes customers lose sympathy for the service. Many livestreams today use inaccurate equipment and standards. As a result, a series of problems appear such as problems with the transmitted file or poor image quality, which will greatly affect the viewer’s experience.
And especially, in the television and education industry, live streaming videos encounter common errors such as “lag” and delay, which have become all too familiar:

The quality of Livestreams on online learning platforms are either spontaneous or recorded in the form of Video on Demand. However, these files also leave many questions about the form and quality of their live versions.

Let’s take Coursera, one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, as an example. With the huge amount of content and lectures that this platform brings, it is difficult for them to ensure that all recorded files have the same quality. The players on this platform only support us with videos below 720P quality compared to other online learning platforms that are only available on the market.

But what about the stability of the live sessions? Most of the time, live sessions cannot operate smoothly when there are too many people participating directly in the livestream.

Many units operating in the education sector in Vietnam have also applied Facebook as their main live streaming platform. However, most of Facebook’s live sessions also bring an uncomfortable experience when the livestream unit itself lacks the necessary tools to ensure the smoothness of the live sessions as well as the quality it brings.

However, in the form of playback, Facebook has also improved the quality of its VOD files by allowing users to completely customize Full HD resolution, which is a step up from other live platform.

Content is also a key factor in determining a successful livestreaming session.
With the current booming live streaming trends on the internet, it will be difficult for content to stand out from other competitors.

Interaction is always the key to a successful livestream.
Your company operates in the digital field, such as providing live football matches through your platform. And what’s better than when the commentators and listeners can participate directly and interact with each other through the available interfaces on the platform such as score predictions, winning minigames…
Users are always the focus of every business, so having a livestream system that focuses on consumer experience and interaction will benefits on both ends.

Livestreaming is like that, but businesses sometimes think that if we only focus on the and image quality of livestreaming, we forget that sometimes the user’s device does not support those files or not.
Recorded live sessions, whether big or small, must be broken down and converted into formats that consumer devices can view.
And if this is not in your mind, then your brand is lagging behind many other competitors.
