WHEN DID LIVE STREAMING STARTED TO BECOME A THING

Live streaming started before the pudlic internet in 1993 but it official started in 1983. The live streaming industry has a fascinating history. Live streaming started in the early 1990s (90s) when the first media players capable of live streaming were developed. This new technology allowed computer users to watch audio and video content in real time, changing how we consume entertainment.

One of the first live streamed events was a music concert, a big step for music streaming. A baseball game was also live-streamed using RealPlayer by RealNetworks, Inc. This was a big deal because it showed how live streaming could bring live sports to computer screens worldwide.

In 1999, a major milestone in live-streaming history occurred. U.S. President Bill Clinton was featured in one of the first webcasts. This event was broadcast from George Washington University and was made possible by technology from the Excite@Home Network.

The year 2005 was another big year for live streaming. The emergence of YouTube opened up new opportunities for streaming video. In 2008, YouTube Live hosted its first live stream event. This was a game-changer because anyone with a computer and internet connection could watch live events from anywhere in the world.

In 2011, a platform called Twitch started live streaming video games. This was a huge hit and showed that live streaming wasn’t just for traditional streaming media like music and sports. It could also be used for video games, a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.

As the years went on, other social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram also introduced live-streaming capabilities. This made live streaming even more popular and widely used. Live streaming is used for many purposes, including communication, entertainment, and marketing strategies. It’s safe to say that the live streaming industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings.

WHEN DID YOUTUBE STARTED TO BECOME A THING

Youtube is an American online video sharin platform headquartered in San Bruno, California, founded by three former PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steave Chen and Jawd Karim in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion, since which it operates as one of Google's subsidiaries.

YouTube allows users to upload videos, view them, rate them with likes and dislikes, share them, add videos to playlists, report, make comments on videos, and subscribe to users. The slogan "Broadcast Yourself" used for several years and the reference to user profiles as "Channels" signifies the promises upon which the platform is based, of allowing anyone to operate a personal broadcasting station in resemblance to TV with the extension of Videos on dimond.

As such, the platform offers a wide variety of user Generated and corporate media videos. Available content includes Video clips, TV shows clips, Music videos, shourts and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers, live stream, and other content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.

As of February 2017, there were more than 400 hours of content uploaded to YouTube each minute, and one billion hours of content being watched on YouTube every day. As of October 2020, YouTube is the second-most popular website in the world, behind Google, according to Alexa Internet. As of May 2019, more than 500 hours of video content are uploaded to YouTube every minute. Based on reported quarterly advertising revenue, YouTube is estimated to have US$15 billion in annual revenues.

YouTube has faced criticism over aspects of its operations, including its handling of copyright content contained within uploaded videos, it’s recommendation algorithms perpetuating video that promote conspiracy theories and falsehoods, hosting videos ostensibly targeting children but containing violent or sexually suggestive content involving popular characters, videos of minors attracting pedophilic activities in their comment sections, and fluctuating policies on the types of content that is eligible to be monetized with advertising.
