    NEW DELHI: InstaLively, the first mobile app in the world, which can live stream directly in HD from any android phone to YouTube, has recently raised $120,000 from six Angel Investors.

     

    InstaLively is the first end-to-end live streaming solution, available both on mobile and the desktop.

     

    The six Angel Investors, who have invested about Rs 75 lakhs ($120,000) into this new venture includes Outbox Ventures’ Niraj Singh, MeraEvents, Google India MD Rajan Anandan, Slideshare co-founder Amit Ranjan, GSF founder Rajesh Sawhney and German investor AECAL.

     

    The primary aim of the fundraise is to capture the global live streaming market. The target market includes events ranging from entertainment to corporate to personal events (like birthday parties and weddings). 

     

    In the past two months, the company has successfully piloted with marquee clients like Google, Mary Kom, NASSCOM for Start-ups, NrityaBharati, GSF, Meraevents and Belgian Embassy amongst others.
     

    InstaLively helps broadcast videos to the cloud in just a single click. The technology is such that using the InstaLively mobile app, one can live stream to YouTube directly from an Android phone with a single click. Moreover, InstaLively has also builtDesktop Apps (Windows & Mac) to live stream from a professional camera.

     

    The USP of InstaLively is that it integrates seamlessly into one’s YouTube channel and has two live streaming modes – “Do-it-Yourself” OR “Get External Help.” In the latter, the nearest videographer comes to your location on the click of a button to live stream or record the event into your YouTube channel.

  • LinkedIn’s SlideShare becomes more personalised

    LinkedIn’s SlideShare becomes more personalised

    MUMBAI: In today’s day and age, social networks are a way of life; so much so that they are the source of news for many media professionals. I happen to be one such professional who gets the beat of the industry through LinkedIn.

     

    Today morning I came across this mail from – LinkedIn’s presentation channel – SlideShare, stating it is integrating its Privacy Policy and Terms of Use into the LinkedIn Privacy Policy and User Agreement, effective 26 March, 2014.

     

    What does this mean for the user? This integration of SlideShare’s terms of service will now make it even easier for the member to discover and share content across both services. This means one’s SlideShare experience can be personalised based on his/her LinkedIn profile, their network, and their engagement with content from both services.

     

    The user’s LinkedIn account will power a richer experience on SlideShare’s service, and in the future may be prioritised over other sign-up or log-in options on the global presentation channel.

     

    “We encourage connecting your SlideShare and LinkedIn accounts, and in the future all SlideShare accounts could be merged into LinkedIn accounts. We’ll let you know ahead of time if we merge these accounts,” stated the e-mail from SlideShare.

     

    SlideShare was founded on the basic desire to easily share presentations on the web. This desire to help professionals around the world to discover people through content, and content through people, led it to join the LinkedIn family in 2012. Both the services claim to work on the fundamental philosophy of “members first”.
