Live Performance In Second Life

What Is A Live Performance In Second Life?

A live performance in Second Life is presented by a person who is represented in-world by an avatar, and is creating the performance in real-time, streaming the audio (or audio and video) portions into Second Life as they are being created.

Playing back a previously recorded performance, whether audio, video or Second Life machinima, is generally not considered to be a live performance (although even this definition will likely raise some "discussion" from some corners ;).
