Traditional video uploads are all good, but the YouTube landscape is changing thanks to influential social apps like Twitch and Discord; Live streaming has made its way to Google's flagship video-sharing website. Live streaming has its own unique benefits, content creators can engage with their viewers directly via a Live chat, the footage is streamed to the platform in real time, which minimizes the editing process, and streams concoct that ever-elusive FOMO that always draws in a crowd. Live streams allow creators to keep their content output steady and consistent, and it's easier than ever on YouTube. Here's how to go live on YouTube in a few simple steps.
There are many ways to shop, whether you go to a brick-and-mortar store, a website, or something in between. With video-based social media like TikTok becoming more popular by the day, social media is changing the way we shop. And no, this isn't through traditional ads. It's through streamers and influencers selling products during live broadcasts.

Its core functionality will live on in the Twitter app
Periscope was originally released by Twitter as a standalone livestreaming app, before most of its functionality was baked into the main Twitter mobile app in 2016. Since then, Periscope's dedicated community has mostly shifted to Twitter and other platforms, and now the app that started it all is going away.
