reality with no second take, broadcasting your courage and your cat at the same time
means To transmit video and audio over the internet in real time, so viewers watch an event as it actually happens rather than in a recording.
from A modern compound of 'live' (broadcasting-as-it-happens, a sense radio and television gave the word in the 20th century) and 'stream' (data flowing continuously across a network, borrowed from the older image of water in motion). The pairing arrived with the internet age, once connections grew fast enough to carry moving pictures the moment they were made.
