Situational involvement and footing shifts in mobile live video streams

Artikel

Mobile live video streaming with smartphones is an everyday media practice in which the participants are in a specific multimodal constellation and streamers and viewers have access to various semiotic resources for interactionally establishing alignment. Based on the multimodal sequence analysis of a concise episode of a journalist's livestream coverage of a political event on the streaming platform Periscope, I will address the question of how participation and involvement in live video streams are achieved and organised by the participants. I will show that hosts in the media practice of live video streaming act in an interaction-dominant manner and involve the viewers in the situation through asymmetrical participation coordination via footing shifts.
