@rrhoover its such a good use case! people love that one so far, but I think there are many many others that have more potential, across a lot of audiences.
@joshdance you can stream the phone's screen on iPhone if you connect your phone to a computer. In practice many of our top broadcasters do this and add overlays to their stream as well.
So is this basically twitch.tv but for your mobile screen? Any ability to stream in private rooms as well? Can you use front facing cameras at the same time?
@colemercer yes, the front facing camera plays a huge part of the experience! Each stream has facecam, voice overlay, and of course the screen. we haven't added private rooms yet, but it's definitely something we're considering.
I'm a huge fan because I was talking with my friend @framp about building this...but then we googled and found Kamcord with lots of kids streaming clash of clans :D
How is this going to stick around on the app store? what makes kamcord different from other screen recording apps that got kicked off, like vidyo?
@bentossell for Apple devices, you need to connect to a computer in order to stream to Kamcord. We're different than Vidyo in that we are an entertainment platform first and foremost. Our goal was not to create a tool, but rather to build an amazing community around a totally new type of live streaming content.
Seems to be a cool product, is this a thing for gaming industry like? But you can stream everything on your phone, like you watching Snapchats from friends, or navigating thru Facebook?
@gabrielreynard we got our start in gaming but expanded aggressively into non-gaming verticals when we observed users sharing new types of content. The dominant use cases we see is creators interacting with fans through social media. For example, it's very common for YouTube influencers to open fan Snapchats in stream and answer questions.
@ethreep0 opening fan snapchats publicly seems like a violation of privacy to me, isn't the point of sending a snap that only that person can see it?
@tombielecki the fans are actually watching the stream and sending the snaps with messages to be showed in stream. So far it's been an amazing interaction that streamers and fans have loved
