About LiveTube
Where truth goes live.
LiveTube turns eyewitnesses into trusted reporters. AI verifies a stream in seconds, editors approve it on a 30-second safety delay, and the strongest reports go on air, with a payout for the reporter.
We founded LiveTube to reconnect journalism with its core purpose: truth. Social media is flooded with misinformation, and traditional media cannot be everywhere at once. With just a phone, anyone can show what is happening, live, unfiltered, and verified, so audiences and media can believe what they see.
LiveTube is not social media. It is journalism infrastructure: a structured news operation with professional editorial oversight and verification before broadcast, not after.

Our technology

Built Quietly. Ready To Scale.
Why we took our time.
We spent nearly a decade building LiveTube behind the scenes, not chasing vanity metrics, but solving the hard problems most platforms ignore: safety, verification, editorial control, and meaningful monetization for contributors. The world does not need more noise, it needs truth: live, unfiltered, authentic. Content is valuable, that is why we pay contributors for their stories.
What it required
Verifying live video in the AI age takes more than a stream. We designed source-proof capture (your video, an on-scene photo, a written location and description, and device signals), built real-time data fusion to confirm what is happening, and added editorial controls, including a 30-second safety delay, that protect both reporters and audiences.
People, newsroom, tech
While many platforms have scaled back verification in favor of unmoderated speed, we keep investing in producers who verify stories, backed by a strong tech team and experienced journalists. When anyone can go live, newsrooms need to trust it, and creators need to earn from it.
LiveTube was built by journalists, engineers, and advocates of press freedom who saw a broken news system and set out to build something better. Together with our contributors, we are redefining what it means to report the truth.
A newsroom in the cloud
When a stream passes its first AI checks, available producers worldwide get an alert. The first to accept becomes the Story Producer, guiding the reporter, verifying on a 30-second safety delay, and adding context before broadcast. Time Zone Producers lead each shift, keep coverage running around the clock, and escalate across time zones for major events. The result is not just crowdsourced footage, it is a crowdsourced newsroom: verified live, paid reporters, paid producers.
Opening now
We have built the infrastructure, and after a quiet rollout we are opening the platform to creators, citizens, media outlets, and changemakers who want to redefine how news is told, rolling out globally from the start.
We built first, so that when the world was ready, we would be ready to deliver.
“
In a world overwhelmed by filtered feeds and fake news, LiveTube stands for something different. Real stories, captured by real people and verified in real time, can reconnect us, bringing truth, hope, and humanity back to the global conversation.
