You’ve probably seen video loops on so many live streams that you don’t even give them a second thought. Here are some common loop examples:

• Pre-Roll Loops: These video loops play before a live stream begins to give viewers a chance to settle in.

• Animation Scene Loops: These are looping animation scenes, frequently used on lo-fi music channels and other music broadcast channels.
