Live-Streaming for Business: How, When and Why You Should Use It [Infographic]

Live-streaming is a key trend of the moment, with an increasing number of brands and individuals looking to streaming to help boost reach and engagement.

And while not everyone can be a live-stream star, and not every live-stream draws an audience, there’s clearly demand there. According to Facebook, daily watch time for Facebook Live broadcasts grew 4x over the past year, while one in five videos posted to Facebook is now a live broadcast.
