The biggest mistakes (and how to survive them) that new livestreamers make during a live show.
How to plan what you want to say as your first line and last line during a live show.
Livestreaming is NOT podcasting but shares many of the same pre-production, production, and post-production challenges.
We get into the challenges livestreaming can create for people new to video.
Ross talks about the Logitech c920 as a good starter web camera.
