Netflix has told Deadline<\/a><\/strong> that it is developing live streaming functionality for reality show reunions and stand-up comedy specials.<\/p>\n

The video streaming powerhouse said the feature is still in its early stages of development and offered no specific details about its launch.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Netflix intends to use live streaming to enable live voting on competition shows.<\/p>\n

Comedy live streams could be delayed by a few seconds to ensure they stick to their age restriction.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how Netflix will ensure that live-streamed stand-up complies with the broadcasting regulations in all the countries in which it operates.<\/p>\n

Deadline speculated that Netflix could offer live streaming if it hosts its Netflix Is A Joke<\/a><\/strong> comedy festival again next year.<\/p>\n

Considering Netflix\u2019s 200,000 subscriber loss<\/a><\/strong> and an expected loss of an additional 2 million subscribers, it is not surprising that the company is looking for new ways to attract and keep subscribers.<\/p>\n

According to an internal executive memo, Netflix plans to bring an ad-supported lower-priced subscription tier<\/a><\/strong> and password sharing fee to the platform by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n
