Abstract
Live streaming has become a popular activity worldwide that has warranted research attention on its privacy related issues. The performance-driven, socioeconomic, real-time, on-camera and public nature of live streaming heightens the privacy challenges to users. However, little research has been done to explore the privacy issues in live streaming. Therefore, my research aims to investigate users’ privacy concerns and strategies in live streaming, as well as to propose practical design ideas for enhancing privacy management. To achieve these objectives, I conduct three qualitative studies, including interviews with Chinese DouYu streamers (Study 1, published at CSCW), an exploration of streamers’ considerations for bystanders’ privacy (Study 2, published at CSCW), and an ongoing co-design study involving streamers and bystanders (Study 3). The anticipated outcome of this research is to provide valuable design principles and guidelines for improving privacy protection mechanisms on live streaming platforms.
