Qik – Live video streaming from a mobile phone
Posted on July 10, 2008 at 5:28 am
Ever thought of streaming live video from your mobile phone? Most of us take our mobile phones virtually everywhere. It’s so easy to toss it in a bag or pocket without giving it a second thought. Accessing the Internet to check movie times, stock quotes, or the weather no longer requires a user to carry around a ridiculously large notebook computer.
Smartphone’s, PDA’s, and the iPhone make it extremely easy to browse our favorite websites while on the go. Numerous application developers love creating wonderful programs to make our mobile phones and other portable devices capable of browsing the Internet with ease. Can you imagine using your mobile phone for live video streaming? Well, thanks to Qik it’s definitely a possibility.
Qik is a innovative application that will allow users, with certain types of mobile phones, the chance to stream videos while traveling. You’ll be able to stream live feeds directly from your mobile phone to the Internet for everyone to take a peek.
If you have a website or blog, keeping your website visitors interested won’t be difficult. Just embed your live feed onto the website and your visitors can start enjoying some fun right along with you.
Another extremely useful benefit of using Qik is the capability of covering live events. Instead of sending snapshots or typing updates after the event ends, consider using this program while it is actively going on. Live broadcasts can help you release information faster than other bloggers at the same event. If your blog visitors depend on you for updated information about technology and other things, then this will be one of the best ways to do it.
If for some reason you don’t have a strong enough signal to connect to the Internet in a location, you can still shoot video while on the go. Once you get to a location that has a signal, you’ll be able to upload the video to the Qik server for your viewing pleasure.
Shooting video footage at a live event can now be done with your mobile phone instead of a large, bulky camera. Just make sure that it is one of the compatible models that will work with the Qik application. To get a list of mobile phones that work seamlessly with the network, visit the homepage.
In order to start enjoying the live video streaming experience, enter your mobile phone number and you’ll receive a text message. Currently Qik is being offered by invitation only, but once you are approved, you’ll receive further instructions on how to use it on your mobile phone.
Using this application is incredibly easy because of its “point and shoot” feature. If you are constantly on the go and would love to capture live video while doing it, then you should give Qik a try.
