list of live streaming video apps

Live streaming video is growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the new apps though, so I put together this list. Some of these are more popular than others, and most will probably never really catch on. But, the fact there are so many shows how mainstream live video is becoming.

I’m primarily using Periscope and Facebook Live, and have not used most of these, but have made a note on the ones I have tried at least once.

Bidchat – Bidchat (coming soon) – Interact face to face with celebrities, influencers, and experts on a live mobile broadcast.

Blab.im – Desktop and mobile live streaming app, allowed up to 4 people to be broadcast at once. (Closed in August, 2016.)

Busker – Live video, with an option to accept payments. (iOS, Android coming soon.)
Follow me on Busker, my username on Busker is @kopiwoda.

DaCast – DaCast makes live and on-demand video streaming simple and includes ways to monetize your content effectively via pay-per-view and/or subscriptions.

EYETOK – A Spanish-made social networking platform. (iOS, Android)
I tried Eyetok but deleted it because I was required to enable location. 

Facebook Live – It’s Facebook! Available on the Facebook app on iOS and Android.
I do Facebook Live from my profile and my business page.

Firetalk – Live video with one or two people on screen. Works on desktop devices running Chrome or Firefox browsers, or iOS devices via their mobile app.

Flurry – Live streaming app that connects teenagers with their favorite social media stars.

I reserved my username on this one several months ago, but have no idea when they intend to launch.

Hang w/ – Hang w/ is live-streaming video, with a monetization layer built in. Ads are shown before and after broadcasts and broadcasters can earn 25% of the net advertising revenue earned by Hang w/ from your broadcasts.
