Real-time broadcasts in audio and video format are called livestreaming. It is often offered for television broadcasts, but also plays a major role in social networks. Many
content creators use the "live function" on
Instagram to establish direct contact with their
followers. Furthermore, this function is also used by many
influencers in the gaming sector, preferably on the
Twitch platform.
Under current law, selected livestreams require a licence from the state media authorities, as they fall under the concept of broadcasting.
