TL;DR
Twitter is developing a permanent page dedicated to live-streaming events, making it easier for users to watch live videos. The page is currently being tested and will allow users to watch videos from content providers without searching for links.
Live video is about to be more prominent on social media than ever before—Twitter is developing a permanent page dedicated to live-streaming events.
According to a recent VentureBeat article, the company is in the process of testing a page dedicated entirely to live video. When it’s launched, the page will make it easier for users to watch videos from content providers without having to search for a specific link.
It’s no surprise that Twitter is rolling out this new feature—VentureBeat notes that live events have been a major point of focus ever since Jack Dorsey returned as the brand’s CEO. During Twitter’s first quarter 2016 earnings call he said, “Twitter has always been the best place to see what’s happening immediately, instantly, to bring people around a particular shared experience.”
For now, there’s no word on when Twitter’s live-streaming page will officially make its public debut.
