Why Use Green Screen For Live Streaming

Live streaming is used by many professions — social media, news, professional sports, and more. Live streaming is when original content is being recorded and broadcasted in real time. Many streamers choose to use green screen when live streaming. 

Why, you ask? Here are a few reasons why green screen is the best option for live streaming.

1. It’s more creative and entertaining!

Green screen allows you to be more creative and entertaining because it isolates the subject from their natural recorded environment and places them ANYWHERE imaginable. And that can also change throughout the video. Imagine speaking about two different places and now having the option to be shown in those two places.  

2. It’s more informative.

Another reason why live streamers choose to use green screen is because of how useful it is to provide information. By keying out and isolating the subject, you now have the ability to control images, graphics, and text on the screen. Streamers can display information related to the topic at hand, like gaming numbers, sports scores, the weather forecast, and so much more, all while recording and streaming LIVE. 

3. More controllable factors.

When talents or subjects are being video recorded or streamed on location, many things can happen beyond anyone’s control. For instance, weather can affect production or loud noises from ambulances or large crowds can affect sound. However, if the production is in a green screen studio, all aspects of the production is controlled. Green screen live streaming production would limit any disruptions or potential grave errors from occurring.

4. Saves money.

Building an entire set is very expensive. Want to know what else is expensive? Traveling, insurance, and filming licenses which is all required when streaming on location. Even mundane things like streaming from a car being driven is less demanding in a green screen studio than in real life. (Also, safer too!)
