One of the biggest challenges for any organization is keeping people interested.<\/p>

All organizations need an audience. That\u2019s true whether you are selling products or services. It\u2019s also true if you\u2019re in entertainment or news. Even non-profits and religious groups need an audience.<\/p>

People are the point.<\/p>

Without people\u2014without an audience\u2014you\u2019re not going anywhere. And that brings us to video streaming<\/a>.<\/p>

Live video can captivate an audience<\/strong><\/p>

Video live streaming<\/a> is an excellent way to engage your audience. Live video<\/a> generates buzz that excites people. And because it\u2019s live, there\u2019s more incentive to clear your schedule and attend. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be missing out!<\/p>

That\u2019s reflected in the statistics. In many settings, live video<\/a> has been found to generate 10 times as many comments as on-demand video<\/a>.<\/p>[Tweet \u201cLive video<\/a> generates 10 times as many comments as on-demand video<\/a>.\u201d]Consumers love online video.<\/p>

Mobile video<\/a> is estimated to grow by a whopping 62% per year from now to 2020. And video to computers and fixed devices is set for 27% growth per year in the same period. (Data from Cisco.)<\/p>

A wide range of businesses is concluding that live streaming<\/a> can help their bottom line. This includes the obvious, such as sports, training, music, and events.<\/p>

But other industries are finding live video<\/a> useful as well. This includes many that haven\u2019t used video typically. For example, restaurants, religious groups, and photographers are now live streaming<\/a>.<\/p>

We don\u2019t expect this trend to slow down. Mobile video<\/a> has continued to rise in popularity. So have internet-to-TV devices like Roku. And the falling cost of live streaming<\/a> is making it easy for broadcasters to get started. Live streaming will overtake traditional television. It\u2019s just a question of when.<\/p>

Engage your audience in real-time<\/strong><\/p>

There are a number of tools that can help you engage your audience with live streaming<\/a>. Let\u2019s examine a few of these.<\/p>

Live chat and commenting<\/strong><\/p>

Chats and comments are critical to engagement. They allow a two-way flow of information that\u2019s essential for keeping people interested.<\/p>

Most successful live streams<\/a> allow viewers to comment or chat in real-time.<\/p>

Live streaming platforms<\/a> like Periscope, Facebook Live, and Twitch have built-in commenting and chat features.<\/p>

If you\u2019re using a dedicated live streaming platform<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to integrate chat functionality. Here are a number of options for embedding a live chat alongside your live stream<\/a>.<\/p>

Polls<\/strong><\/p>

Another great way to keep people interested is polls. Polls are great! They get people involve and teach them that their opinion matters. That makes people feel wanted, which makes them more likely to keep watching.<\/p>

Polls are also great because they can help you gather important information.<\/p>

For example, you could ask people:<\/p>
