Livestreaming for Podcasters—Audio or Video

It's time livestreaming worked for podcasters too.

An illustration of a podcaster attempting to start a livestream. However, they encounter an error that says they need to enable video in order to go live. This podcaster, like many others, doesn't want to use video and instead wants to go live with audio only.

Most livestreaming platforms prioritize video, sidelining podcasters who want an audio-only experience.

Static formats limit experimentation—live conversations, fan Q&As, or dynamic formats are hard to pull off.

Without live analytics, it’s impossible to know what’s landing and what’s losing listeners.

Livestreaming, reimagined for podcasters.

Effi puts audio-first creators back in the spotlight. Host audio-only livestreams with the same powerful tools as video streamers—no camera required.

An example of what a livestream for a podcaster could be without any video. On screen, there are two images of the podcasts hosts. Next to them, are interactive elements for the audience to engage with during the livestream. There is a meter asking a question for the audience to vote on and there is a display of an audience's chat message.

"Effi provided us with an intuitive, yet creative way of engaging The Challenge fans during our first-ever live online casting special. We polled The Challenge social followers and YouTube subscribers throughout the special, learning about their real-time preferences to inform our livestream programming. Interactive storytelling is the next frontier of social content creation, and we’re excited to see where Effi 2.0 can take future efforts in this space."
