LiveU Solo Helps Content Creators Live Stream at VidCon

Video tastemakers, Shira Lazar of What’s Trending and live video software platform Switcher, are bringing live streaming to the forefront with exclusive live updates and interviews from VidCon, the largest online video conference in the U.S., using LiveU Solo.

“With over 30,000 attendees and millions watching from all over the world, VidCon is the place where content and technology converge. The rise of new storytelling formats makes live video a viable solution for content creators,” says Claudia Barbiero, LiveU VP of Marketing, Americas.

“Once content creators get their hands on LiveU Solo, they don’t have to worry about bandwidth or cellular congestion and can simply focus on fun and dynamic live online programming ideas that get them outside of the studio. We’re excited to see how What’s Trending, Switcher, Inc. and our other customers use Solo at the show.”
