Livestreaming, what’s in it for us?
Technology has advanced significantly since the first internet Livestream but we still turn to video for almost everything. Let’s take a brief look at why live streaming has been held back so far, and what tech innovations will propel live streaming to the forefront of internet culture. Right now live streaming is limited to just a few applications for mass public use and the rest are targeted towards businesses. Livestreaming is to today what home computers were in the early 1980s. The world of live streaming is waiting for a metaphorical VIC-20, a very popular product that will make live streaming as popular as video through iterations and competition.

Do you remember when YouTube wasn’t the YouTube you know today? In 2005, when Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim activated the domain “they had a vision. Inspired by the lack of easily accessible video clips online, the creators of YouTube saw a world where people could instantly access videos on the internet without having to download files or search for hours for the right clip. Allegedly inspired by the site “Hot or Not”, YouTube originally began as a dating site (think 80s video dating), but without a large ingress of dating videos, they opted to accept any video submission. And as we all know, that fateful decision changed all of our lives forever. Because of YouTube, the world that YouTube was born in no longer exists. The ability to share videos on the scale permitted by YouTube has brought us closer to the “global village” than I’d wager anyone thought realistically possible. And now with technologies like Starlink, we are moving closer and closer to that eventuality. Although the shared video will never become a legacy technology, before long it will truly have to share the stage with its sibling, live-streaming. Although live streaming is over 20 years old, it hasn’t gained the incredible worldwide adoption YouTube has. This is largely due to infrastructure issues such as latency, quality, and cost.

Latency is a priority when it comes to living streams.
Latency is the time it takes for a video to be captured and point a, and viewed at point b. In live-streaming, this is done through an encoder-decoder function. Video and audio are captured and turned into code, the code specifies which colors display, when, for how long, and how bright. The code is then sent to the destination, such as a streaming site, where it is decoded into colors and audio again and then displayed on a device like a cell phone. The delay between the image being captured, the code being generated, transmitted, decoded, and played is consistently decreasing. It is now possible to stream content reliably with less than 3 seconds of latency. Sub-second latency is also common and within the next 20 or so years we may witness the last cable broadcast (or perhaps cable will be relegated to the niche market of CB radios, landlines, and AM transmissions).

On average, the latency associated with a cable broadcast is about 6 seconds. This is mainly due to limitations on broadcasts coming from the FCC or another similar organization in the interest of censorship. In terms of real-life, however, a 6-second delay on a broadcast is not that big of a deal. In all honesty, a few hours’ delays wouldn’t spell the doom of mankind. But for certain types of broadcasts such as election results or sporting events, latency must be kept at a minimum to maximize the viability of the broadcast.

Sensitive content is hard to monitor.
