LivePod

What is LivePod

While the number of video content providers is exponentially growing, monetization opportunities for them are emerging only very slowly. YouTubers, gaming streamers, online instructors, remote diagnostic experts and other content providers are all looking for ways to make money from their talents and businesses. Incumbent providers are expensive and can swallow up to 50% of profits. Also, the “sharing economy” has started to reshape our world and introduced the concept of the democratisation of the internet. We have built the foundations of our platform on this concept.

The scandal swirling around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica has begun to usher in a new era for everyone, and started to focus minds on the vitally important matters of security and privacy.

The industry is currently dominated by huge forces that are non-responsive to user needs and expectations. An undercurrent of content creator irritation and unrest exists beneath the surface. Conditions are ripe for a sea change, triggered by a problem market participants are experiencing.

An innovative, flexible and inexpensive technology is needed right now to serve content providers better – and more importantly – more safely.

LivePod is a live video broadcasting and video chat platform. LivePod is built on a P2P lean video transmission technology, and will do this without expensive infrastructure. This is how it works in a nutshell: Continuous two-way video streams are directly distributed on our Capacity Donors’ decentralized networks as P2P data packets and are not broadcast by central servers. Easy, right?

Content creators can reach existing audiences through LivePod for only a small fraction of the typical fees and commissions, and will thus save 70% of the fees they typically have to fork out. LivePod opens the market for video content that otherwise would not see light of day. The LivePod P2P service makes live video chat and video streaming easy to monetize and will deliver significantly more money to the content creators. LivePod will be more than just a service or a platform: It will be an embeddable technology. As a platform it works like Javascript or Flash.

Unlike the incumbent giants that profile you and tend to use your personal data for unwanted purposes – whether you like it or not –, LivePod guarantees unrivalled privacy and security. LivePod does not and cannot collect any of your data. We make sure your communications remain private, confidential and secure.

Our tokenized video platform will create a strong brand identity, ecosystem group cohesion and adherence. Tokens will give special bonuses to holders. Tokens will allow creators to better monetize their talents, and will create higher quality video contents for users. Importantly, the platform will be open for everyone and the services will not be limited to the crypto community.

Right from the start, LivePod’s focus will be on being attractive to gaming content creators, to provide them irresistible motivation to switch platforms.

LivePod is aimed primarily at the gaming scene and after the first year, LivePod aims to acquire a 1% (22K+ users) market share. Furthermore LivePod aims to carve out from the entertainment industry – using a distinguished brand – a 1.5% (40K+) share of the existing content providers.

Platform Features

We are building the LivePod platform with an appetizing selection of features to attract customers.

Multistream (Duplex Video Streaming): Viewers can stream their own video back to the content creator in a scalable window. This is how paid educational, tutorial and e-learning services, remote instructors and coaches, problem solver/DIY and inexpensive medical diagnostic services can find their way onto the market. LivePod will also allow simultaneous, multiple video image streams on split screens.

Unique Privacy: LivePod’s users can connect directly with each other without the help of central server and LivePod will seal the connection via secure encryption. Users who exchange sensitive and/or confidential information during their sessions, such as therapeutic and medical consultations, or exclusive business data, will appreciate this option.

24-Hour Video Storage: LivePod will store video files for only 1 day, then they are deleted (similar to Snapchat and other ”story”-type platforms).

Booking: For optimal engagement – which is very important in webinars, for example – broadcasts can be scheduled. There will also be options to send reminders to channel subscribers and to arrange appointments.

Store Video Files: For e-learning, DIY-type, training, coaching, and similar services, video files can be stored for a low fee to cover the costs of storage.

HyperVIDEO: Hyperlinking the video files to each other – an important feature for interactive channels and e-learning courses.

Embeddable: For e-learning, webinars, web conferencing, dating and similar services, LivePod’s platform can be seamlessly integrated into the provider’s own site. From that point, their customers will be using the LivePod P2P network without even realizing it.

Screen Sharing and Screen Remote Access: Users can share access to their computer screens for collaborative and IT-related problem-solving purposes.

Reward Your Teacher: We developed this feature improve the relationship between e-learners and their tutors (and, of course, for every LivePod user). Viewers can reward their content providers with User Tokens and ratings.

Content Filtering: LivePod will filter improper and illegal content using AI and other state-of-the-art technical tools to be in compliance with applicable laws.

Subscription Options: A large array of options with customized notification.

Donation: LivePod will help non-profit organizations and providers with social responsibility projects by giving them incentives to organize donation campaigns.
