Live-streamed meditation offers weaker social presence than in-person sessions but helps attendees build a consistent practice routine and connect with other meditators. Teachers use live streams to deliver meditation globally, which also enhances their own practice and brand building. Challenges with live-stream tools were identified from both audience and teacher perspectives, leading to design recommendations to better support mental wellbeing through live meditation.
