In this pandemic era, apps like Zoom, Microsoft teams, Google Meet and more have become widely popular as they allow people to meet and get in touch virtually. However, Twitter’s live stream feature was made available before the pandemic but could capture the interest of the masses this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your followers and the general public may view your broadcast both live and later via an on-demand Twitter video. Twitter users, like Instagram users, may participate with live feeds by entering a message in the chat or by using a love emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start a live broadcast from within the official Twitter app for iOS and Android devices. A cellular or\u00a0Wi-Fi signal\u00a0is required and your account must be public. If your\u00a0Twitter account is set to protected<\/a>, you will not be able to live stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a lock icon next to your username, go to\u00a0Settings and privacy<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0Privacy and safety<\/strong>\u00a0within the Twitter app and change your account to public by disabling the\u00a0Protect your tweets<\/strong>\u00a0switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What more can you do with live stream on Twitter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When you finish broadcasting with the Twitter app, a recording of your live stream saves to Twitter and becomes available to rewatch on-demand from within the initial stream’s tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the most appealing things about this feature is that you can always make changes to your saved live stream videos on Twitter whenever you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can edit a recorded live stream by tapping the video within the tweet and then tapping\u00a0Edit Broadcast<\/strong>. From here, you can change the title of your stream and even edit the start and endpoints by selecting specific points on the video timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you’ve made all of your adjustments, tap\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>\u00a0to lock them in. Changes made to a recorded Twitter live stream can take around 15 minutes to propagate across the social network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
