Software Saturdays, Streaming Software Series #1

As a Business Professional or Established Content Creator, you should already be familiar with most of the tech required to create and post stand alone video and print content.

What you are most likely not familiar with is the types of software required to Live Stream from either your desktop or mobile device to the Social Media platform of your choosing.

You can release your hand that is clutching your pearls, as in this software series I will break down and explain the different Live Streaming Software available to you and how simple most of them are to use.

To get started, there generally are 2 camps of streaming software.

#1 Downloaded Software

#2 Browser Based Software

Both of them do exactly the same thing in the end, but how they get there and the capabilities of the different softwares vary dramatically.
