Tagboard Helps Facebook Share Live Video with the World
Today Facebook released a major update to Facebook Live, introducing new features that give people more ways to create, share and personalize live video, along with new places for people to discover live videos.
Facebook chose Tagboard to power a dynamic and interactive social hub to showcase the day’s amazing live videos to the world during the 24-hour live event. The Facebook Live website features an embedded and customized tagboard which utilizes our patented technology to seamlessly aggregate curated content based on the #24Live hashtag.
This partnership goes beyond a single launch page, though. Facebook Live is integrated directly into the Tagboard platform, enabling thousands of Tagboard clients around the globe to re-display live content on websites, at events, and in live television broadcasts using Tagboard’s beautiful display visualizations.
Here at Tagboard, we have focused on connecting communities together through the social networks that they love, and this new integration will allow them to connect together in the most dynamic way possible: in real-time, through live video.
A few weeks ago at SXSW music and technology festival, Facebook collaborated with Tagboard to launch a premium portal for artists to use Facebook Live to share exclusive content with their fans through the SXSW website.
Fans of musicians were able to see a dynamic live feed of Facebook Live content from a music festival all in one place. The portal allowed artists to communicate with fans across the globe during the music festival and conference, hosted in Austin, Texas.
The Facebook Live integration on Tagboard will help brands, event organizers, media companies, and sporting teams instantly syndicate live video to be seen by their community at all touch points.
The use cases we envision with Facebook Live and Tagboard will lead to new and unique ways of connecting with audiences. From stadiums, to news desks, you will see Facebook Live content bringing a new and fresh perspective to audiences like they have not seen before. We think this is going to be great for communities of all sizes.
We’d love to hear what you think! Please let us know what you think via Facebook or Twitter! If you have any questions about Facebook Live and the Tagboard platform, please reach out to us at [email protected].
