Patreon tests a native live video feature where creators can stream 24/7 | TechCrunch
Briefly

Patreon is rolling out a native livestreaming feature for selected testers with plans for wider availability in summer. This new capability enables creators to engage in live chats with fans and allows for unlimited streaming duration, a distinct advantage over competitors like TikTok and Twitch. It opens up avenues for monetization, where creators can monetize exclusive streams for paid members. However, there's a limitation in co-hosting options, requiring the use of external software. The move aims to attract more creators by offering an ad-free live streaming experience.
Creators can stream directly within the Patreon app, avoiding ads on other platforms and enjoying various engagement options during live broadcasts.
The introduction of native livestreaming provides creators with new monetization options, such as exclusive streams for paid members or free broadcasts to build an audience.
