If you are looking for live streaming hardware or ideas for how to bring your content to a live audience over social media, you can start here!

A lot has changed in the world of live production and streaming in the past year, so we have updated and revised our article on Top Products for Facebook Live and YouTube Live! We have compiled this list of the top products recommended for streaming live events on Facebook and YouTube. Of course, many of these products can be used for streaming to other networks as well, and they have all been tested and approved for the hottest social media platforms.

We are not presenting this list in any specific order because the top product for you may be different than the product needed in your organization, local church, school or town hall. Instead we present all of these products as our Top Picks.
