Live video on Tumblr.
This should be interesting.
By the end of today, you’ll be able to broadcast yourself directly into your followers’ dashboards. And they’ll be able to broadcast themselves directly into yours. We trust you all to be beautiful, weird, compelling, and just generally Tumblr about this whole thing.
Crucial details and compelling miscellany:
You can post live videos through YouNow (iOS, Android), Kanvas (iOS, Android), Upclose (iOS, Android) and YouTube (Android-ready right now, iOS-ready in a few days). How? Here’s how.
They can be reblogged like any other post. Which is wild.
They stick around after you shoot them, and can thus be enjoyed in the future as well as the present.
We’ll notify you when anyone you follow goes live. And we’ll pin their video to the top of your dashboard. Wouldn’t want you to miss anything, after all.
We’ll be broadcasting some live entertainment later today right here on the good ol’ staff Tumblr. It’s going to go down like this (all times Eastern):
4:00 p.m. Opening remarks
4:10 p.m. We will make @thingsorganizedneatly organize things neatly
4:15 p.m. You will Answer Time live with @adamjk
4:30 p.m. We will inflate a very big thing in a very small room
4:45 p.m. A Harlem Globetrotter will teach you how to basketball
5:00 p.m. You will learn the metaphysical truth about your Tumblr
5:30 p.m. Closing remarks
Should be delightful. See you there.
