JAKARTA X, formerly known as Twitter, announced that it will launch live streaming capabilities. Just like the phone and video calling features, live streaming will be limited to Premium accounts. Delivered via Live accounts on Saturday, June 22, the platform says that this new feature is designed for Premium subscribers. If X users with free accounts are interested in using its features, they should switch to Premium packages. "Only Premium customers can live stream on X. This includes live streaming from encoders with integration of X. Increase to Premium to continue airing," wrote the Live account. Despite this announcement already shared, X has not yet determined the launch date of the feature. The platform also does not explain whether this feature will be available in several countries or will be rolled out globally. In fact, this step is not surprising because Elon Musk is trying to gain more revenue on the X platform. Musk even plans to make X a paid platform to avoid spam and bot problems.

This new policy has been implemented in several countries such as the Philippines and New Zealand. Users who have just joined the platform must pay USD 1.75 (IDR 16 thousand). If they don't pay, users can only follow other accounts and read posts. In Indonesia, platform X offers three paid packages, including Basic, Premium, and Premium Plus. Basic Packages are priced at IDR 64 thousand, Premium for IDR 164 thousand, and Premium Plus for IDR 349 thousand. This price does not include taxes.
