Notably, sociability gratification and satisfaction had a significant impact on a user's intention to continue to use livestreaming services and accounted for 77% of the variance.Originality/valueThe study adds to the body of knowledge by demonstrating the uses and gratifications theory and flow theory in live stream services.
