@bentossell amazing presentation. Did you hear they first called themselves Pied Piper?

@bentossell Thanks for posting! Really excited to be here!

@mattsalsamendi today must be a pretty crazy day tell the PHers the story :)

@bentossell Sure! We founded our first startup back in 2011 and while we were growing it we worked with tons of awesome content creators on both Twitch and YouTube (I moderate for a bunch of large Twitch casters to this day!). When Twitch started moving towards eSports (namely with the change of streaming protocols from RTMP to HLS) it nearly destroyed the interaction between viewers and streamers in community focused streams. Since we had thousands of servers all over the world and an awesome engineering team at MCPro, it seemed like a natural progression, and so we set out to build a streaming platform that had interactivity at its core. 200ms stream latency using WebRTC, interactive game integrations so viewers can get involved with gameplay, chat polls, and native moderation tools are all things we prioritized early on. We launched a beta in January and today we have over 110,000 people watching and interacting with content every month!! Super excited about that and things to come... keep an eye out!

@bentossell Awesome I loved the presentation. This will be huge! :)

@troy_ruediger I HAVE DONE NOTHING

@chrismessina haha don't worry. Me either

@leachy114 That's no fun! Flying back from NY now but having someone from the team take a look ASAP.

@mattsalsamendi Awesome! Just streamed some CS:GO awesome platform

@leachy114 Quick heads up, this was probably caused by Safari treating foreign websocket headers like the plague. If you're running the latest tech preview this should be fixed. (We reported it shortly after it was released)
