The executive notes that the service is chugging along as planned. More directly, it&#8217;s pulling in streamers that don&#8217;t typically participate on other platforms. As a result, within the next couple of months, Reddit will be expanding the feature.<br \/>\nWhat is RPAN, anyway?<br \/>\nNow, the fact that Reddit even has a Live Streaming service may come as news to even long-term users. Up until this announcment, it&#8217;s been extremely limited in terms of which subreddits have accesss. That includess subreddits like r\/whereintheworld, r\/RedditInTheKitchen, and r\/AnimalsOnReddit. Among others.<br \/>\nAt its core, RPAN functionss similarly to just about any other live-streaming service.<br \/>\nCentered on Redditors, it lets redditors effectively stream whatever they want as long as it doesn&#8217;t violate the rules of the subreddit. The broadcast goes out live to all of Reddit, appearing in users&#8217; feeds if they happen to be subscribed to a participating subreddit. Or if they happen to have the aforementioned subreddit appearing in their feed as a recommendation.<br \/>\nBut part of the appeal of Reddit&#8217;s app-centric live streaming platform, according to Mr. Le, is that it draws broadcasters who don&#8217;t follow traditional streaming norms. Rather than being over-the-top, Reddit streamers tend to be &#8222;just a lot of regular users.&#8221;<br \/>\nRPAN is, additionally, a phone-forward feature. It eschews the need for big PC set-ups and higher-resolutions. Users can go that route, via integration with OBS via RPAN Studio. But that&#8217;s not required.<br \/>\nFinally, Reddit Live Streaming packs a 45-minute time limit that can only be extended by viewers, in true Reddit fashion.<br \/>\nWhere is Reddit Live Streaming coming next?<br \/>\nRight now, it&#8217;s not immediately clear where Reddit&#8217;s live streaming RPAN feature will appear next. The feature doesn&#8217;t have quite the same viewer figures as competing platforms, ranging up into the thousands instead of the dozens-of-thousands. As noted above, it&#8217;s also limited to very specific subreddits. But the company does plan to bring it to &#8222;as many communities&#8221; as will accept the feature over the next few months.<br \/>\nThe post Reddit Took The Slow Road, Now Ready To Compete On Live Streaming appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Reddit-Live-DG-AH-2020.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reddit is ready to take its Live Streaming service, dubbed Reddit Public Accesss Network (RPAN) to the next level, reports [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4865,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4866,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4864\/revisions\/4866"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
