Pilot episode but we do pack a lot of information into our first one though. Going over the latest experience I had while testing out the new live-streaming service, Shareplay. Currently in closed beta but it does offer some potential that will definitely have to back in on it when it opens up further and more of its unavailable features are released.

Live Space is in open beta and is another of the upcoming live-streaming platforms that actually offer more than just live streaming. Incorporating a Twitter-like feed into the mix, you can offer your viewers and community more features to keep them within the site.

Owncast, our fan favorite continues to impress us by releasing a new update. Fixing some issues we had encountered and bringing some new features to the channel page. We got a resizable chat and the option for pop-out chat as well as many other improvements.
