Which Types of Live Video Are People Actually Watching? [New Data]

Unlike what one would assume, entertainment is not the kind of video mostly watched online. Educational videos are more popular, and a company could benefit from this trend. People enjoy watching live question and answer sessions, videos demonstrating a product and ‘how to’ videos. They are all the more effective when viewers are invited to engage the content. If a company plans to use videos to advertise, choosing the platform wisely and practicing before filming is advisable.
