Stream wildlife and nature.
Animal videos are extremely popular on the internet. Start with live streaming to gain views, fans, and even a chance to go viral.
Since live streaming captures the daily routine of both animals and potentially their caretakers, streaming presents a great opportunity to raise awareness about wildlife.

TIP: Use pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras to create a camera tour: choose a series of preset positions and have the camera move between them automatically, pausing at each position for a pre-defined amount of time. Make your camera tour stand out by adding a custom-made graphic overlay with CamOverlay App.

Security cameras make great bird cams. For bird-watching sites with a poor internet connection, such as the Foothills Birds project based near Brown-Lowery Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, CamStreamer solves the issue of limited mobile data by scheduling live streams for daylight hours only. The stream runs simultaneously on the project's website and YouTube with a countdown to the start of the stream and a birdseed sponsorship message, both added to the feed via CamOverlay App.
To keep in touch with their fans during the covid-19 lockdown, Melbourne Zoo launched a YouTube live stream called Animals At Home using CamStreamer App. To keep fans from different time zones engaged during nighttime hours when the animals were asleep, the zoo used CamOverlay App to add overlay graphics with a QR code, encouraging viewers to use the code to watch prerecorded content in the meantime.
