Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple, all host annual developer-focused conference. Among them Apple is the only one that doesn't have a livestream platform.
But to be fair though the rest are not all streaming their own event on their own platform.
- kalleboo 7y agoWhile it's not a platform, Apple did develop and popularize the HLS protocol probably to solve precisely this problem - to run extremely popular live streams over commodity CDNs.
- mcny 7y ago> Microsoft For those who had to squint and think for a second, Microsoft owns Mixer (formerly known as Beam) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixer_(service) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixer_(service) Microsoft also has Microsoft Stream which I understand is more for Microsoft 365/Office 365 customers > Microsoft Stream is a corporate video-sharing service which was released on June 20, 2017 that will gradually replace the existing Office 365 Video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Stream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Stream
- 98codes 7y agoMicrosoft wouldn't use Mixer for something like this, they would use a purpose-built website alongside Azure Media Services[1], as they have been for their big conferences that have had livestreams alongside the in-person conference for a few years now. Microsoft Stream is basically login-required corporate YouTube, and as you surmised wouldn't really fit this model.

- sixstringtheory 7y agoMaybe not equal to all the others, which I couldn't say because I don't watch any of the first 4's events, but I've definitely watched the livestream of the WWDC keynote and SOTP each year.
- robertoandred 7y agoWhat? Apple's been live-streaming stuff for decades.
