What’s Bambuser? It’s another random application I found which allows my phone (and 62 others) to stream live video to the Internet. Works best over wifi of course, but I’ve not yet tested it on the GPRS/3G connection. According to the website it shouldn’t be a problem but the quality isn’t going to be as good. The lag from real “real” time to video on the page is around 5-10 seconds which is pretty good.
All live streams are recorded and saved to the site, I’ve put a little demo video below to show the video/audio quality. It’s very quick to install and very simple to use. The site isn’t that widely used at the moment so when you start streaming live, your video is on the main page so basically, make sure you’re doing something interesting. I saw a user on there recording an album and streaming them mixing and editing it live so that was quite interesting to watch.
I read YouTube is to start offering live video this year as well. I wonder if they’ll be using the same sorts of technology?
Maybe I’ll start doing a “vlog” or two.. We’ll see so stay tuned.
