Live Streaming Helps MyHeritage Clients with Their Genealogy Research
It’s always important to know your past to be able to plan for the future. That’s what MyHeritage wants to achieve with their family history search services. But it’s not just about connecting people on social media or doing a DNA test. To search family history, advanced and meticulous methods and technologies are needed.
MyHeritage is able to give its clients updates on its genealogy research methods by meeting clients and followers through live streaming on its Facebook page. By interacting with followers in real-time through live video, more people will be able to discover their family history. Armed with their family ancestry knowledge, they’re empowered to plan for a brighter future.
But how exactly has live streaming and BeLive helped the genealogy research company reach and engage with millions of people around the world? Esther Shuman shares her insights about their BeLive experience below!
