Because it would show that he is alive in present day and can prove it. If he is as claimed at the embassy then it doesn't matter if it is traced as he cannot legally be touched there. If he isn't then it raises more questions which still could be answered by doing a live ama with a neutral background so as not to give away his location.
He can't expect people to carry on supporting Wikileaks when such suspicions are abound.

yes i understand your point, but there is other possibilies, one of them is : he is hiding, and not in embassy. IF its the case, he (obviously) dont want make live video (fear to being located etc..) And it also could explain why he cant have access to some social medias account, and why WL team ask us to stop asking for proof of life etc... just a theory ,but possible...

Yes this is a possibility, that he escaped the embassy but it still wouldn't be difficult to ensure conditions are met that can show he is still alive (ie a current newspaper or tv with a live news broadcast in the shot, or answering questions put to him via another medium that would show he is still alive and safe etc.
