LinkedIn Live makes it debut

LinkedIn — The working world's social media with an amazing 600 million users globally — mentions that video is the fastest-growing format on its platform next to original written work, shared news and other content. Now it’s taking its next step in the medium in earnest.

The company is now launching live video, giving individuals and organizations the ability to broadcast real-time video to select groups, or to the LinkedIn.
