   noun

   Plural of livestream.

   Both livestreams drew larger audiences than the network expected.

   Note

   One word or two: livestream is the closed spelling of live stream, so the same broadcasts can just as correctly be written live streams. Either spelling is correct, but keep to one throughout a piece of writing. The identical form also serves as the present-tense verb, so in a phrase like "she livestreams" the word names an action, not the broadcasts themselves.

2. 2
   verb

   Third-person singular simple present of livestream.

   The orchestra livestreams its season opener to subscribers worldwide.

   He livestreams the launch coverage from a small booth near the gantry.

   Note

   A verb that points both ways: someone who livestreams a concert may be sending it out or sitting at home watching it. In both directions it takes a direct object, the thing being streamed, and the rest of the sentence settles which direction is meant. An orchestra that livestreams its opener is broadcasting; a fan who livestreams every match from the couch is watching.

   She livestreams every away game on her phone because she can't afford the travel.

   My father livestreams the Sunday service from his armchair now.
