Live streaming comes to Tumblr: Here’s how it works – Times of India

Social networking site Tumblr will now let users live stream their content through Livebox. According to a report by The Verge, the feature is being rolled out to users located in the US and is available on both Android and iOS. The update will be soon released for global users and the desktop site in the upcoming years.
Earlier, Tumblr did support live streaming, but then it only allowed users to share streams from other platforms like YouNow and YouTube.

What is Livebox and how does it work?
Livebox is a Meetbox-operated platform that is a subsidiary group of ParshipMeet Group which is a dating app company. It lets users tip streamers and with the same token, Tumblr users will be able to pay creators using a virtual currency called ‘Diamonds’. The platform will also provide users with artificial intelligence (AI) and human-powered moderators while streaming.
