Meerkat

Meerkat has made it possible to stream live videos to all those who follow you on twitter right from your phone.

Meerkat is a good app to create live video streams using IOS and android devices. When the app was first launched, it was only available on iOS, but there is an android version nowadays too. In order to use Meerkat to steam live video you need to use your twitter account to push streams to followers in real time. So the app has quite a limitation in terms of availability.

Meerkat overview

The app is not so easy to use. The interface is not intuitive, but rather hard to use even for experienced users. You will use the main app page to commence or plan streaming. Planning of a stream enables you to choose your convenient streaming time that will be saved and a reminder send to you later by the application. There are icons at the top screen of the app representing viewers and alongside them their messages. You can stop a stream and switch on front and rear cameras using provided buttons.

All streaming is live, it is impossible to view recorded footage. Meerkat is limited to Twitter so everything – streaming, sharing, messaging – is happening there. Once you start ‘Stream’-ing, your live video stream automatically shows up in your follower’s Twitter feeds. They can twit to their followers so more and more people are able to watch the stream.

Pros:

  • Social interaction – The most affordable tool that will help you increase social reach during events. The event rating is possible by simply creating a hashtag for receiving views and ratings about the various sections of the event from your followers. In addition, despite the fact that Meerkat is mainly developed for twitter use, its 15 second clips can be shared on Facebook as well as on Instagram.
  • Sneak Peeks – Hype is essential around numerous events by both celebrities and other fun loving individuals. Meerkat has reduced tour hustles to achieve this. Touring the venue is possible using this creative application.

Cons:

  • interface is quite bad and hard to use
  • only live streaming, videos can not be saved

Conclusion

Meerkat is an app that was developed at the right time and gained popularity despite its technological shortcomings. Meerkat has made it possible to stream live videos to all those who follow you on twitter right from your phone. The video will show up in the twitter feeds of your followers once you press the stream icon. If they have the app, they will be able to watch after being notified, interact and comment.
