Streaming 👩‍💻🍿

Companies are using streaming as a tool to reach employees and investors in multiple contexts:

• Virtual meetings, distance learning and remote work.
• Internal communication via streaming video to employees.
• External communication via streaming to investors.
• Streaming product launches, commercials and events to the widest possible audience to a large online audience.
• Online courses and training sessions for employees and customers.

Digital meetings, such as those held via traditional live streaming or video conferencing platforms, can in some ways be considered more environmentally friendly than physical meetings. For example:

• • Less travel: with digital meetings, participants don't have to travel to a physical location, which can reduce carbon emissions from transportation.
  • Less paper: many digital meetings are held without paper, which can reduce pollution from paper production.
  • Lower energy consumption: digital meetings typically require less energy than physical meetings as they do not require the use of lights, heating or cooling to the same extent.

However, it is important to note that digital meetings still have their own environmental impact. For example, the energy consumed by servers, computers and other devices used for digital meetings, as well as the production and disposal of these devices, also have an environmental impact. In addition, some digital meeting platforms may have their own environmental impact, e.g. energy consumption from servers, data centres, etc.

All in all, digital meetings can in many ways be considered more environmentally friendly than physical meetings, but it is important to consider the whole life cycle of the technology used and take steps to minimise the environmental impact.

Streaming and live streaming are related but different concepts.

Streaming refers to the general process of delivering audio, video or other media over the internet and playing it in real-time as it is received. This can include pre-recorded content made available for streaming.

Live streaming specifically refers to the streaming of live events in real-time via the internet. Examples include concerts, sporting events, news broadcasts or live shows. The content is created in real-time and is not pre-recorded. What's unique about live streaming is that it allows the audience to experience an event as it happens, in real time.

You could say that all live streaming is streaming, but not all streaming is live streaming
