 ### Walkthrough
 Todd Zimmerman put together a [tutorial](https://talkingphysics.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/getting-started-animating-with-manim-and-python-3-7/) on getting started with manim, which has been updated to run on Python 3.7.
 
-### Live Streaming
-To live stream your animations, simply run manim with the `--livestream` option.
-
-```sh
-> python -m manim --livestream
-Writing to media/videos/scene/scene/1080p30/LiveStreamTemp.mp4
-
-Manim is now running in streaming mode. Stream animations by passing
-them to manim.play(), e.g.
->>> c = Circle()
->>> manim.play(ShowCreation(c))
-
->>>
-```
-
-It is also possible to stream directly to Twitch. To do that simply pass
-`--livestream` and `--to-twitch to manim` and specify the stream key with
-`--with-key`. Then when you follow the above example the stream will directly
-start on your Twitch channel (with no audio support).
