livestreamer
Real-time video host
A livestreamer is someone who broadcasts video content in real time over the internet, typically on platforms like Twitch or YouTube.
The term usually implies regular streaming as an occupation or serious hobby rather than occasional use: She quit her job to become a full-time livestreamer.
Most livestreamers interact with their audience through chat while gaming, creating content, or just talking.
