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?
Eric
@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
Eric
Hey folks! I'll be checking the page throughout the day to answer your questions :) Happy to answer questions on the product, share thoughts on influencer marketing, or discuss the live streaming space at large.

For those looking to try streaming instead of just viewing, you can stream directly from Android 5.0+ devices! If you're on iPhone, you need to connect to a computer in order to stream.

@ethreep0 always the same, it works easily and simply on Android, and needs more efforts on apple :)

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?

@ethreep0 Hey Eric how's it going?

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?
Eric
@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.

Can you stream the phones screen on iPhone?
Eric
@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.

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

LOL @ the Tinder streaming use case in your App Store screenshots. I actually didn't know this was technically possible on iOS. Well done, @ethreep0 and team!
Gordon Tindall
@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.
