Involves real-time video or media streaming directly into a dashboard or display. Useful for monitoring environments, events, or activities as they happen, often used in security, environmental monitoring, or to provide live updates on events.
What is a live stream?
The Live Stream serves as a dynamic tool for displaying real-time content from external web pages via a specified URL. Its primary purpose is to provide users with immediate access to up-to-date information or live events happening elsewhere on the internet. By embedding content from external sources directly into the widget, users can conveniently monitor live streams, news updates, social media feeds, or any other web-based content without needing to navigate away from their current interface. Whether used for staying informed about breaking news, tracking social media activity, or monitoring live events, the Live Stream offers a seamless and efficient way to access and display external web content within a single, centralized platform.
