ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Livestream

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a friend who lives far away and you really want to show them something cool that you're doing. But you can't just run over to their house and show them. What can you do?

Well, that's where livestream comes in! It's like having a little camera that follows you around and shows everything you're doing, and sends it to your friend's computer or phone in real time. So they can watch what you're doing as if they were right there with you!

It's kind of like watching a movie or TV show, except it's happening right now, at this very moment. And lots of people can watch it all at the same time!

Livestreams can be used for all sorts of things. You might see someone doing a dance performance or playing a video game, or even just talking to their friends. And because it's live, you can interact with the person doing the livestream by sending messages or asking questions.

It's a pretty cool way to stay connected with people, even when you can't be physically together.
