Live experiences from anywhere

The Internet has become an indispensable tool for the daily life of many people in all corners of the world. From reading the news in national or international newspapers to communicating through email or messaging clients, both professionally and personally, the ability to access information and communication is beyond doubt.

However, in recent years, live experiences have become popular, allowing access to activities and events that previously could only be followed in person.

Leisure and games of chance

Of course, one of the first experiences to become popular was that of online video games. At first, the live was limited to the game itself, but today the best gamers broadcast them on platforms such as YouTube or Twitch for the enjoyment of all their followers.

In fact, the popularity of eSports has led to international championships that attract millions of fans both in person and online. Without going further, about 74 million viewers enjoyed the final of the world championship of League of Legends which was broadcast live across numerous online platforms.

Traditional games of chance have not been left behind either and are more popular than ever thanks to their immersive experiences. Just have to discover live casinos to access blackjack or roulette tables with real live dealers, none of the old animations.

Festivals and concerts

And what about the music and the explosion of live concerts. More and more artists are using online streaming platforms to get their music to every corner of the world.

In addition, the experience goes far beyond simply listening to music on the Internet, since each live performance is unique and unrepeatable. While records offer an unalterable experience over the years, live concerts bring us closer to the artists in a much more intimate way through a musical connection that was previously exclusive to concert halls.

On the other hand, most fans of any international artist cannot afford to travel thousands of miles to see their favorite group. Many will say that it is not the same and they are right, but it is the most similar experience in terms of connecting with the bands and their performances. Artists like Maluma have already offered online concerts for his followers around the world through Amazon Prime Video and Twitch.

As if that weren’t enough, many of those experiences are also accessible through virtual reality, making them even more exciting and immersive. Those who miss the social factor can also interact with the rest of the spectators or invite their friends to turn their living room into an exclusive and unparalleled music festival.
