FAQs – Going Live

A great LiveTube captures authentic, unfiltered, and real-time moments of significant events. Focus on events that are newsworthy, impactful, and timely. Ensure your video has good lighting, steady framing, and clear audio. For more tips, read our guide on What Makes a Great LiveTube.

To get started, download the free LiveTube app from the App Store or Google Play Store, create an account, and press Go Live to start streaming. Producers will monitor your live stream and decide if it’s selected for broadcast. Make sure your phone’s location services are enabled, as real-time location is essential for verifying the news story.

You can stream any real-world, newsworthy event, from major breaking news to smaller local stories. Examples include protests, accidents, or other public events of interest.

Stream events that are impactful, informative, or engaging, such as:
• Breaking news (accidents, natural disasters, public events).
• Unusual or unique happenings in your community.
• Local events or protests that aren’t covered by traditional media but would make the news.

However, LiveTube does not accept personal content such as:

– Filming yourself (e.g., singing, performing stunts, or giving speeches)
– Filming trivial or irrelevant things like pets, landscapes, or everyday tasks
– Filming content from TV or other media channels

The platform is dedicated to showing events as they unfold naturally. Make sure the story you capture has public or news value.

At LiveTube, we aim to feature livestreams that provide significant public or news value, capturing real-world events that inform, engage, or impact the community. While we appreciate your effort to share your story, here are some common reasons why a livestream may not be selected:

1. Lack of Newsworthiness:
We prioritize events that are impactful or informative, such as breaking news, unique happenings, or public events. Content that is personal (e.g., singing, stunts, or personal opinions) or lacks broader relevance (e.g., pets, scenery, or everyday activities) may not meet the platform’s focus on public interest.

2. Irrelevant or Misaligned Content:
LiveTube does not accept content copied from TV or other media channels or events that do not naturally unfold in real-time.

3. Adherence to Guidelines:
We showcase streams that align with our community guidelines and uphold the platform’s values of accuracy, integrity, and relevance. Check the LiveTube Rules.


How to Increase the Chances of Selection:
• Capture real-world events like accidents, protests, natural disasters, or local gatherings.
• Focus on stories that matter to your community and would resonate on a broader scale.
• Ensure your livestream is authentic, informative, and offers a unique perspective.

LiveTube prioritizes real-time reporting to ensure authenticity. All streams go through an initial verification process by our advanced AI system, followed by a review by a newsroom producer.

Producers can intervene to stop a broadcast if it violates our content guidelines or poses safety risks.
