Livestream is a video live streaming platform that allows customers to broadcast live video content using a camera and a computer through the Internet, and viewers to play the content via the web, iOS, Android, Roku, and the Apple TV. Livestream requires a paid subscription for content providers to use; it formerly offered a free ad-supported service but no longer does so as of 2016.
Livestream customers include Spotify, Gannett, World Economic Forum, Tesla, SpaceX, NBA, RISD, Clinton Global Initiative, over 200 local TV affiliates, and thousands of others.
Livestream was founded as Mogulus in 2007 by Max Haot, Dayananda Nanjundappa, Phil Worthington, and Mark Kornfilt, and has offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Zaporizhia and Bangalore. It launched with a free streaming service, and introduced its white label “pro” service in April 2008 with Gannett as its first customer. In July 2008, Gannett invested in Mogulus with $10 million in funding.
In May 2009, Mogulus re-branded as Livestream. In May 2014, the company moved its headquarters from Chelsea to Brooklyn, New York. Jesse Hertzberg was appointed CEO in April 2015, with all four founders remaining with the company in senior roles.
Livestream provides a completely integrated end-to-end live video solution for customers of all sizes. They produce live production hardware and software switchers, video and audio mixers, wireless HDMI camera streaming accessories, and a cloud-based broadcasting and video content management platform. They also provide professional services and, for those customers interested in a complete solution, a full-service professional production company.
For entry-level customers, Livestream manufactures the Broadcaster, a product that customers can connect to any camera with HDMI video output. The Broadcaster serves as both a live video capture device and encoder, and automatically beams the live video signal to the Livestream cloud-based broadcasting platform.
