@rrhoover@drewwilson Hi Ryan, thanks for posting Streamup. We do indeed try to differentiate by focusing on entertainment. Unlike other communities where the focus is simply on sharing what's happening (i.e. walking your dog), we try to focus on truly engaging content (creators doing live commentary, news talk shows, reality shows, etc.).
@yourstrulyconor Hi Conor, we welcome anyone, but frankly I think it depends on the kind of stream you have. We build Streamup by focusing on broadcasters, so what that ends up meaning is we try to give you the best tools we can so you can have the highest quality broadcasts, i.e. bottom thirds, switching camera angles, special effects, overlays etc. and we give you ways to monetize.
Imo, Streamup and Periscope are similar in some ways, but completely different when it comes to use-cases (entertainment vs. teleportation). If you want to make a living broadcasting long-form shows, Streamup offers that, whereas if you want to share brief, interesting moments in your life, Periscope offers that.
@kyledmichelson@kyledmichelson monetisation you say? 🤑 jk 😇 streamup def sounds better for my sort of content. I like to just pull out my phone,interact with viewers and have fun 🙌🏻 your tools are what's gotme leaning towards you guys, but as a relatively new app, is there possibility for discovery? What are some of the numbers you guys can brag about? Just as an indication.
Yeah, funny how Periscope is mostly "Doing homework, ask me questions" and barely anything worth watching most of the time. If you scope something cool (Venice Beach sunset last week when I was there) you get so many people saying "Thanks! great scope." Curious to see how much entertainment comes through this. I'm looking for, or maybe gonna build, a Request for Stream type app...where you can ask for a live stream and someone in the are will go do it...for a fee.
@automateiq We actually thought about doing that, but the market potential for live streaming platforms appears to be much larger. When you look at the more mature platforms like YY in China, Afreeca.tv in Korea, or even Twitch here in the US, some of their top broadcasters are pulling in upwards of $20-40K/mo in tips/subscriptions/ads.
@automateiq Actually, we are working on something like that for last couple of months. About to launch IOS app in a week or so. Early access at StreamLi.com
