Ruptly launches new live video platform

Ruptly Live was announced at MIPCOM 2017

News agency, Ruptly, has launched a new video streaming platform designed to let anyone stream Ruptly live events, 360º video and drone footage direct to their social media channels.

Ruptly Live is aimed at broadcasters, brands and vloggers, who can all use the service to stream professional live video content from around the world.

“Live transmissions are the optimal content for our clients because they allow audiences to be fully immersed in any given moment, as if they were actually there, watching breaking news and viral stories as they happen – in both traditional and 360 formats,” said Ruptly CEO, Dinara Toktosunova.

“Ruptly Live is a two-in-one product. We are pushing the boundaries of accessibility by offering premium content that anyone and everyone can post on social media via an easy-to-embed live streaming solution.”

Users can stream live video direct to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Periscope, as well have it delivered through CDNs to native players – giving them the freedom to embed custom adverts.

Ruptly Live will let users stream a range of content, from viral videos to breaking news filmed by Ruptly’s teams on the ground.
