With live-streaming now available on almost every major social platform, it s little surprise to see Pinterest also looking at its own live-stream options to help promote creators, and boost engagement in the app.
As reported by TechCrunch, later this month, Pinterest will host a three-day virtual event, which will feature a range of live-streamed sessions from creators and celebrities, which will be made available directly in the Pinterest app.
Pinterest communications manager Marie-Joëlle Parent also shared this update on Twitter:
We re testing live events! @Pinterest will bring Creators and Pinners together for a 3-day virtual event on the app on May 24-26th. We’ll give Pinners access to drop into live-streamed, studio-style sessions directly on Pinterest. https://t.co/nWR1iLB3XM Marie-Joëlle Parent (@mariejoelle) May 13, 2021
