Recently, Google has announced that it will now support a better discovery of livestream with Google search and Google assistant. In order of relevancy, the livestreams will be featured in search results carousel. Google has stated that using this API will “ensure that Google crawls your livestream quickly”.
By marking these videos with new Livestream structured data, Google will recognise these videos as livestreams and feature the video in the search results carousel. Any live content like events, awards shows, influencer videos that you post will now have the opportunity to gain more exposure in Google Search.
