It is often referred to simply as streaming, however this abbreviated term is ambiguous due to the fact that “streaming” may refer to any media delivered and played back simultaneously without requiring a completely downloaded file.

Platforms such as Facebook Live, Periscope, Kuaishou, and 17 include the streaming of scheduled promotions and celebrity events as well as streaming between users, as in videotelephony.

An extreme example of viewer interfacing is the social experiment Twitch Plays Pokmon, where viewers collaborate to complete Pokmon games by typing in commands that correspond to controller inputs.
