Actively managed streaming means a person and a system are watching the broadcast while it happens — not a dashboard the organizer is supposed to check between sessions. On StoryFrame.tv, every live event is monitored in real time from signal acquisition to audience playback. Encoding health, feed integrity, bandwidth, and viewer delivery are treated as one live system, because to the audience they are one experience.
Self-serve streaming software hands the organizer an ingest URL and wishes them luck. StoryFrame.tv takes responsibility for the broadcast itself.
