Online live streaming platform television Received its own mobile app. Now, users can not only watch the live broadcast and communicate with the author through a browser, but also use separate clients for smartphones and tablets on iOS and Android.
w.tv emerged last year as a streaming service aimed primarily at viewers in the Commonwealth of Independent States. With the launch of the mobile app, the team hopes to make broadcasts more accessible to users who prefer to watch content on their mobile devices.
In the app you can find and watch live broadcasts, follow hosts, discover new broadcasts and communicate directly with other viewers during broadcasts. Authors have the opportunity to conduct their own broadcasts via RTMP-compatible programs and encoders, including OBS. The service also supports saving streaming recordings, including screen sharing, audio broadcasts and multi-camera scenes.
Pay special attention to chatting. Developers continue to expand its functionality and gradually add tools for managing communications during broadcasts. In particular, various settings for message appearance and attachment of emoticons have appeared on the platform. The w.tv team also announced plans to develop a system for moderating and personalizing chats.
The mobile client is now available for download. iPhone and iPad require iOS/iPadOS 15 or higher. The application is distributed completely free via the following link:
The developers stress that a mobile version is under active development. New features are planned to be added gradually based on audience feedback. Meanwhile, the platform itself is constantly being updated: the team is already experimenting with a recommendation system, expanding chat functionality and adding new tools for streamers.
Therefore, the launch of mobile applications becomes the next stage of w.tv’s development. Now, users can switch between browser and mobile versions of the service, rather than just watching broadcasts on their computers.
