W当你忙于流媒体时,你所认为的“流媒体”演变成了许多不同的东西. 今天,当“流媒体”只是流媒体世界的一小部分时,你所做的事情.

Back in the day, networks put their content online, 流媒体同样的广播,通过广播或有线电视. 公司使用广播设备和定制服务将会议发布在公司网站上. Then the internet grew, high-speed connections became available on phones, and reaching viewers around the world became commonplace. 任何人都可以有一个视频“播客”,并在整合和处理观众评论的同时进行直播.

Churches went online around the world, 现在有一整群人参加礼拜,即使他们在几百甚至几千英里之外. Gaming grew, 玩家们开始通过在专门提供游戏内容的新平台上进行直播来展示自己的游戏实力(或缺乏实力). 他们将其他玩家的Discord音频与粉丝的评论结合在一起, and they found they could even make money with donations, merchandise, and more while playing.

Instagram和TikTok开辟了一个“垂直视频”流媒体的新世界, 迫使硬件和软件制造商去适应,尽管有大量的长宽比传统主义者反对它. 这些平台的流行并没有引发垂直电影制作的浪潮, because there are no vertical movie screens—not yet, 无论如何. 但对于大多数在垂直屏幕手机上观看这些内容的观众来说,它是合适的.

这些垂直受众和在观看平台上付费的能力催生了流媒体销售视频, where the whole point is to talk about product, 化妆, 衣服, accessories, lifestyle, 而其他的一切,都可以在观看平台上点击购买. Streaming is not just part of the sales chain. It has become the sales tool itself.

但是,QVC(质量价值便利)不就是这样吗?? 现在比1986年方便多了,比35年前方便多了. There were no mobile phones then, no “clickable” anything. But a person showing a product that you could buy, 播出的形式只不过是那个产品的一个很长的广告? It’s more or less the same thing.

但现在人们更喜欢的媒体是互联网流媒体,而不是专门的有线电视网络. 每个人都可以具体地促进他们想要促进的东西. They have their own channel. The marketers are their own brand. 百家乐软件app最新版下载可用的工具也在不断发展.

Zoom、Microsoft Teams、Web-ex和一般的在线商务会议又如何呢? 这也是流媒体——视频和音频在云端来回传输. 无论是取代还是增加面对面的会议, 在2020年全球大流行之前,这种多人“通话”被广泛应用于商业沟通中. 早在2014年,Skype就推出了免费的10人群组视频通话,使用时间达到2140亿分钟, worldwide, in 2013. So, connecting with remote groups of people is not new; it has just evolved to become easier and a lot better. 自从我们开始随身携带可以放在口袋里的设备以来,它也变得更加方便了, connected to a near ubiqui­tous high-speed wireless network, 这使得基于流媒体的视频通话总是只需点击几下就能实现.

But whatever you use streaming for, you need to understand that today, 它已经发展到大多数人不像你那样使用它的地步. 有些人将它应用于特定的用途,当他们看到一个不适合他们工作流程的产品时,他们会感到困惑. 最近, 一位评论者问我为什么产品X不支持lut——这对他们来说是不可想象的, because “everyone” (their words) does it that way.

不,不是每个人都像你一样做事,或者像我一样做事,或者像我们一样做事. 每个应用程序都是很小的一部分,今天的流媒体使用比以往任何时候都更加多样化.
