Livestream Studio - What is Streaming Software?

It's the software that captures your webcam or other video inputs and converts it into the correct data to send to Streaming Providers, such as Citizen Ticket.

Streaming software can either be downloaded & installed on your laptop, PC or mobile device or can even come preinstalled on serious hardware.

Web-based streaming software is also available, meaning no download required. These usually carry a monthly fee but they're worth exploring for their modern features.
