According to a recent report by Deadline , Netflix is ​​said to be working on starting live streams for the first time. The streaming provider had already confirmed the development in the past.

Live streaming will initially be used on Netflix for some of the shows and stand-up comedy. The live transmissions would then also make it possible to carry out viewer votes. In general, this would give you the same options as in linear television.

Of course, Netflix might also get involved in sports rights and related broadcasts. But you should wait and see: sports rights are very expensive and recently Netflix had to accept a massive loss in share value.

When Netflix could start live streaming is still completely open. Internally, the experiments should just run. It is also conceivable that you will only get started in the USA before you go to work internationally.
