Third-wave livestreaming: teens' long form selfie

Published:04 September 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

Mobile livestreaming is now well into its third wave. From early systems such as Bambuser and Qik, to more popular apps Meerkat and Periscope, to today's integrated social streaming features in Facebook and Instagram, both technology and usage have changed dramatically. In this latest phase of livestreaming, cameras turn inward to focus on the streamer, instead of outwards on the surroundings. Teens are increasingly using these platforms to entertain friends, meet new people, and connect with others on shared interests. We studied teens' livestreaming behaviors and motivations on these new platforms through a survey completed by 2,247 American livestreamers and interviews with 20 teens, highlighting changing practices, teens' differences from the broader population, and implications for designing new livestreaming services.
