LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CES --
HTC, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today
announced live streaming from its new RE™ camera to YouTube. Now
consumers can easily share the moment by connecting a RE camera to
their YouTube channel and sending a live broadcast link to viewers
around the world.
Available for Android™ devices beginning tomorrow, Jan. 9, through a free update to the RE app in
the Google Play™ store, the new live streaming feature allows RE
users to not only capture great video with ease, but also to share
special moments and favorite events with those who can't be there.
Friends across the world or traveling family members won't miss any
live action. The free update will also be available for iOS later
in Q1 2015.
The RE camera's wide-angle capture and small form ensure that
both you and your RE won't miss anything. With storage via a
microSD™ card in addition to backup to your smartphone and the
cloud, RE is always ready to capture your precious memories.
The live streaming feature is a simple-to-use and handy add-on
to get the most out of video capture, making it easy to broadcast a
piano recital, snorkeling adventure, puppy cam and more. With the
RE app, sign in to your YouTube channel and activate live
streaming. Once verified, broadcasting from your RE is a snap. Any
live footage you wish to share is transmitted directly from RE to
your smartphone, which then sends your broadcast to your YouTube
channel. Invite people to view the event by sending your broadcast
link to tune in via SMS or social networks. Even if they can't
watch it live, the link will continue to be active, even after the
broadcast ends.
Viewers do not need a YouTube channel to view broadcasts, and
live streams can be broadcast in public mode, which makes videos
available to anyone who has the link or discovers it on YouTube, or
in private mode, which limits the broadcast to only those you share
it with.
Availability
The updated software for the RE application will be available
beginning tomorrow, Jan. 9, in the Google Play store and is
coming to the Apple App Store™ later in Q1 2015.
RE is widely available at Amazon.com, AT&T, Best Buy,
HTC.com, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.
When used according to guidelines, the RE is rated for use in up
to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. For further
