## What it is and how it works

A broadcast requires content prepared for its [audience](https://www.zorraquino.com/en/dictionary/advertising/audiencie.html), a reliable connection, and provision for moderation and accessible alternatives for understanding it. Access conditions and recording retention are governed by the platform; this entry does not specify time limits or account requirements. Live broadcasting on [Facebook](https://www.zorraquino.com/en/dictionary/internet/facebook.html) is useful when simultaneous interaction offers something that a recording cannot provide in the same way.
