Live streaming is high on engagement, but it also comes with various technical challenges and scheduling issues. Often, live streams are not just sports streaming, which have to be live. Some live streams have just to pretend to be live for various reasons. There can be time-zone restrictions. For example, streaming in the US, but the audience is Indian. With AI handling conversations, live streams can be, let’s say, not actually live.
It’s the middle part that retains the live experience and engagement and removes a lot of operational burden. Muvi One, with its Simulive feature, can help you launch such live streams. In this blog, we will discuss how you can use Muvi One to stream your events seamlessly and why you must think about launching your content as simulated live streams.
Live streaming continues to grow, with global market value projected to reach over $345 billion by 2030, and over 28% of internet users watching live streams weekly. The global live streaming market is valued at around $100 billion in 2024, and is forecast to reach $345 billion by 2030 (23% CAGR). This rapid growth reflects live streaming’s mainstream shift and new revenue opportunities.
The numbers sound promising. However, it’s not as simple as simply hitting the “Go Live” button, and that’s why many content creators are turning towards Simulive, a simulated live streaming experience.
As the name suggests, Simulive is a simulated live stream. It allows you to upload a pre-recorded video and broadcast it as if it were a live event. So while the content is re-recorded, to the end user it feels as if the content is being broadcast live with “Live” label, a chat window, viewer engagement tools, and everything else that can be associated with a real live stream. However, in reality, you’ve already recorded, edited, and perfected the content beforehand. That means no last-minute technical issues, no missed cues, and no nervous presenters.
Simulive is a great way to connect with your audience, with all the live attributes, while also having enough time to prepare for better, more professional content. Here are a few reasons why pre-recorded live streams are good for a video streaming business.
Quality Control: Since the content is pre-recorded, there is enough time to edit, polish, and optimize content before it goes live, ensuring only the best quality content reaches the end user.
Time-Zone Flexibility: You can be in the United States and stream live content in SENA countries at their choice of time. Seamless scheduling of Simulives means everyone, no matter where they are, gets the live streaming experience.
Multiple Monetization Options: Since it is a pre-recorded event but also a live event, it opens the door for new monetization opportunities. You can sell tickets, run ads, give exclusive access, and sell it as a live streaming service.
Real-Time Engagement: Simulive is just like your normal live streams. This means you can indulge in live chat, create polls, indulge in Q&A sessions, and more.
