• What is the difference between live streaming and on-demand streaming?
  

  Live streaming means taking the video from live sources such as webcams, camcorders, dvd players etc. and broadcasting it live over the Internet to your audience/viewers. If the viewer misses the broadcast the only way to see it is if the publisher provides on-demand streaming. 
  
  On-demand streaming means that the publisher needs to upload a pre-recorded video ( for example recorded taken during a live event ) and then stream it to the viewers who can watch the video 24/7 over and over again.
