livestreaming
Streaming while happening
Livestreaming is broadcasting video content over the internet in real time, as opposed to uploading pre-recorded material.
Viewers watch events as they unfold—gaming sessions, concerts, news coverage, product launches: She's livestreaming on Twitch right now.
The verb livestream works both ways: you can livestream your content or livestream someone else's broadcast by watching it live.
