Pinterest to host a three-day, in-app live-stream test starting May 24 

Pinterest

It might be a case of better late than never. Pinterest will host a three-day live-stream event on its app to showcase some of its most popular content creators. There will be 21 workshops covering topics like how to repurpose leggings and making the perfect guacamole. You can only watch the workshops on the Pinterest app. But you can preview each session on Pinterest's site.

Pinterest will allow comments while watching and a chance to chat with the host of the session. There will be moderators to keep things civil. The shopping component of the site won't be available here. The company hasn't mentioned how live-streaming will factor into its plans.
