5 Tips for Connecting with Live Viewerson Social Media1. Connect with your audienceSocial media should be a back and forth conversation, not just a one-wayprojection. Don’t shout into the void: If you see you have viewers tuning in,ask them questions, answer their questions, and poll them for responses.Live, immediate interaction is the real value of live video and will incentivizepeople to stay tuned in.It might be helpful to have someone off-camera flag comments to you or filterthrough them so you can respond to the best ones. Facebook’s algorithmranks videos based on stickiness and repeat views. While you’re streamingtry to find ways to involve your viewers and get them to share your post.2. Don’t forget about the new viewersSince many people will tune in after you’ve already started streaming, youwant to make sure you get them up to speed. If you see a bump in viewership,welcome those viewers and recap them on what you’ve been discussing.You can’t control when your viewers join, and you’ll want to use call-outsplus graphics and enhanced video to help people navigate the narrative ofyour stream.09 Live Streaming for Social Media

3. Embrace the nature of liveThis is live video! Your audience isn’t tuning in to watch something stiff andscripted. Feel free to have a little fun or be a bit spontaneous. The moreauthentic your connection with your audience the better. The beauty of livevideo is that audiences are not expecting a polished final product.4. Broadcast for at least 10 minutes (and say “goodbye”when you end)The longer you broadcast, the more viewers and likes you can get, the morelikely you will rise in the news feed algorithm. We recommend broadcasting forat least 30-45 minutes. Here at Vimeo we do 30 minutes of live presentationand then about 15 minutes of Q&A. Then, have another live stream scheduled,remind them to tune in later and subscribe to updates.5. Boost your postHad a great stream? Once your social media live stream ends, you canboost it. Allocating even a small amount of spend can gain you additionalon-demand viewers and extend the reach of your video.Did you know?Vimeo has handy built-in graphics features tocreate on-screen graphics in a cinch.10 Live Streaming for Social Media
