Vidpresso Highlights From the Past Week

TED Creates a Worldwide Concert with Cellist Joshua Roman

Earlier this week TED set up a beautifully relaxing live stream with Joshua Roman playing all six suites for solo cello by Bach. The Stream lasted 2 hours and 40 min. In between each stream as Roman took a break, TED shared short videos and posted a graphic to keep viewers around. The stream averaged 12K viewers at any given time and ended with just under a million views.

Buzzfeed’s 2020 Countdown Goes Viral

It’s been a busy couple weeks for Facebook Lives! The election alone created over four dozen live streams in one day. One of our favorite livestreams came on the heels of the election, Wednesday afternoon. Buzzfeed ran a 3.5 hour stream with nothing more than a fullscreen countdown to the 2020 election. The stream saw 39 million LIVE viewers with over 770K shares while it was live. It was a simple production underscored by some nice elevator music.
