9/16 Streaming: Why You Should Seriously Consider It
You may have noticed: today, we consume almost everything on our smartphones, and that includes videos. And now, the vertical format, or 9/16, changes the whole game! Whether on social networks or during live events, this format is becoming essential to capture attention and offer an immersive experience. Why and how should you adopt this format for your next live broadcasts? Because that's exactly what your audience expects.
Why is the 9/16 format so popular?
Simply because it's super practical! This format has become the format par excellence for mobile viewing. With over 80% of Internet users accessing videos via their smartphones, it is crucial to offer a format that matches the way these users hold their devices. The vertical format maximizes screen space, providing a more natural and engaging viewing experience.
And that's great for capturing the attention of users of platforms like Instagram or TikTok, where the vertical is king.
