Mixcloud is a platform that focuses on streaming audio content such as DJ sets, radio shows and podcasts. In 2020, Mixcloud introduced a livestreaming service called Mixcloud Live. This feature was developed to give artists, DJs and radio producers the opportunity to provide live broadcasts while respecting copyrights, a key difference from many other livestreaming platforms.
Mixcloud Live combines audio and video streaming, allowing users to broadcast their DJ sets or radio shows with images. The service is directly integrated into the existing Mixcloud ecosystem, meaning that broadcasts are automatically linked to the user’s profile and are available as replayable recordings afterwards. This allows followers and fans to listen back later, even if they missed the live broadcast.
