During restrictive times live streaming has become a vital tool in our ongoing communication with our audiences. In this one hour webinar, the Digital Culture Network’s Tech Champion for Digital Content, Dean Shaw, will cover the basics of live streaming and guide you through the software options for Mac and PC users and the best settings for the main live streaming platforms (Facebook, YouTube and Zoom). Dean will also cover best practice for optimum use of your mic and camera and provide a glimpse into solutions for monetising your live streams.

You will learn:

• Features and settings for Facebook Live, YouTube and Zoom
• Audio and video best practice
• Options for monetising your live streams
