A live streaming option for stand-up specials and other live entertainment material is also being developed by the platform. Netflix is reportedly expanding into live streaming, according to sources. For stand-up specials and other live material, the firm is currently developing a live streaming option.

Support for live streams might allow Netflix to broadcast live reunions, such as the one staged recently by the real estate reality show Selling Sunset, and allow live voting for competition series. Netflix might use the feature to stream live sketch shows. Netflix’s first-ever live and in-person comedy festival, Netflix Is a Joke Fest, took place this year. Over 130 well-known comedians, including Ali Wong, Bill Burr, Jerry Seinfeld, John Mulaney, and others, performed at the Los Angeles festival over multiple days.  Netflix will begin airing some of the shows taped at the event later this month and into June, but a live option might allow customers to watch shows as and when they want from the comfort of their own homes.

The reason that Netflix has come up with the compelling feature of live streaming is that consumers consume information on your time.  This means you’re just interacting with people who are interested in you and your company, as well as those who find your content incredibly beneficial. Live streaming is quite inexpensive when you consider it. No special hardware, software, or equipment is required. The ability to offer real-time user participation and enter a direct dialogue with the influencer is one of the main reasons why live-streaming is making a difference in content marketing.

One of Netflix’s main competitors, Disney Plus, has already begun live streaming. In February, Disney Plus broadcasted a live broadcast of the show. Netflix reported losing members for the first time in over a decade in its most recent earnings report, while Disney Plus Hotstar has gained new 7.9 million users in the first four months of 2022. Netflix has suggested at potentially cracking down on password sharing as well as providing a cheaper ad-supported streaming alternative to help offset a drop in revenue and subscribers.
