The same loop, on more than one platform
Nothing about a 24/7 loop is specific to one platform: the same file, the same encode and the same schedule reach several destinations at once - YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Facebook, Rumble, Telegram or any custom RTMP address. The audiences barely overlap, so a second destination is closer to a second channel than to a duplicate one. Two limits are worth knowing before you try it: Facebook ends a broadcast after 8 hours and Twitch after 48, so a round-the-clock stream on those two is a loop of restarts rather than one session. The 24/7 multistreaming guide covers the costs, the platform rules and what to watch.

Common questions about 24/7 streaming in this niche
You can start with your own city! Many successful channels focus on one location. However, variety helps growth. Consider filming during trips, or license/partner with other creators for location variety.
Most successful 24/7 city walk streams are silent or have only ambient sounds. Viewers want immersion, not narration. Save commentary for separate tour-style videos if desired.
A 3-axis gimbal (DJI OM series for phones, RS series for cameras) is essential. Shaky footage ruins the immersive experience. Budget $100-300 for a good gimbal - it's worth the investment.
