The most common and natural verb combination is 'einen Liveticker verfolgen' (to follow a live ticker). You can also 'im Liveticker mitlesen' (read along in the live ticker) for an event, or, as a journalist, 'einen Liveticker schreiben' (write a live ticker).

'Ticker' and 'Liveticker' both refer to short updates that are continuously refreshed. 'Ticker' is more general: it can display news, sports results, or stock market prices, for example on a website or on television. 'Liveticker' is more specific and emphasizes that an event is being followed live and commented on in real time. Learners may confuse the words because both consist of short, up-to-date updates. If you are talking generally about a stream of updates, 'Ticker' fits. If a match, an election, or an event is happening right now, 'Liveticker' is more precise.
