Is Wix Good for Live Streaming?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:50 pm

Wix is one of the most popular website builders on the market. It’s user-friendly, has a wide range of features, and is suitable for businesses of all sizes.

However, one area where Wix falls short is live streaming. While you can use Wix to create a website for your live stream, the platform doesn’t offer any streaming services itself.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

This means that if you want to stream live on Wix, you’ll need to use a third-party service such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or Twitch. And while there are some advantages to using these platforms, there are also some significant disadvantages.

PRO TIP: While Wix does offer live streaming capabilities, we would not recommend using it for this purpose. The quality of the live stream will be poor, and there is a risk that the stream will be interrupted or cut off entirely.

For example, YouTube Live doesn’t allow you to monetize your live stream. So if you were hoping to make some money from your live stream, you’re out of luck.

Facebook Live is a bit better in this regard, as it does allow you to monetize your live stream. However, it only allows you to do so if you have a verified Facebook page with at least 10,000 followers. For most people, this is simply not possible.

Twitch is perhaps the best platform for live streaming if you’re looking to make money. However, it’s primarily geared towards gamers and may not be suitable for other types of live streams.

So while Wix is a great platform for creating a website for your live stream, it’s not the best platform for actually streaming live. If you want to stream live on Wix, you’ll need to use a third-party service such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or Twitch.
