And in general, it isn’t well suited for very large scale use (Twitch can have hundreds of thousands of viewers). Also, Zoom costs money for more than 3 people longer than 40 mins. Zoom? You can have the DJ set their audio to the correct output instead of a mic but the audio quality is optimized for talking, not bass. Mixlr? This has superior audio and can be used in conjunction with Zoom but doesn’t have the video engagement so it’s more of a choice of what you’re prioritizing. Not awesome for dancers to put into their bigger sound system. Also, it’s vertical video only, designed to be viewed on mobile. IGTV? Similar benefits to FB but again requires an Instagram account (Twitch only requires an account to chat). YouTube Live? Similar copyright issues to FB. They’re also way stricter with copyright detection killing you mid-stream. Facebook Live? Facebook has the benefit of integration to your FB network but also the problem that not everyone wants to be on FB anymore. We recommend Twitch and OBS because they are both free products.
