I have been live streaming for over the past four years, everything from Periscope to Facebook and YouTube Lives.
There are a bunch of live streaming platforms out there, but my favorite way to stream is by using multistreaming tools.
A multistreaming tool is a software that allows you to stream video content to multiple outlets at once. With there being so many outlets for streaming using these tools allows you to cast a wider net when trying to reach your audience.
Here are some of my favorites and the pros/cons:
