Wowza Community

live streaming platform like Dlive.tv or LiveMe.com

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I would like to build a

live streaming platform. In best case like Dlive.tv or LiveMe.com

Of course I need a Wowza server . But Wordpress drives me crazy and I don’t like it.

Do you know some clones of Dlive or LiveMe ?

Especially with donation and gifs option.

Thank you very much

Hi @Andi Kerr, I looked at those site examples and you can build a similar site where your users can broadcast their live streams and you can have interactive chat. But we do not have a way right now for you give or receive donations. You can however, add these options through some third party companies.

You can build thus through Streaming Engine or Wowza Streaming Cloud. Here is a link to how to build an interactive app and I hope it helps you.

Also, we have some ways to add graphic overlays like captions and thumbnail images, but let me check on gifs- not sure.

You can add gifs, but you will need to do a bit of work to manipulate the images to achieve an animated effect.

Thank you very much. I will send this links to a developer for building me a overlay.
