Subject: [WebAIM] Query on live region properties

Hello all, Warm greetings!

I would like to be clarified on the use of live region properties through this webaim platform.
Will screen readers announce the whole live region if aria-live is alone used without setting aria-atomic to true along wit it. Or it is mandatory to define aria-atomic="true" to make screen readers announce complete live region and if it is the case what will be the behavior when aria-live alone used in terms of screen reader announcements?

<div aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true"> live region content </div> <div aria-live="assertive"> live region content </div> Will these yield same result?

Regards,
Venkatesh
