YouTube opens mobile live streams to those with 10k+ fans, paid Super Chat exits beta

Google’s video powerhouse YouTube is today taking its latest step to compete with Facebook Live and Twitter’s Periscope to be the go-to platform for live video streaming, specifically of the unscripted, on-the-fly kind.

YouTube today is turning on live video recording directly from its mobile app for creators who have at least 10,000 subscribers. And on top of this it’s taking Super Chat — a service where viewers can pay to bump up their comments in the stream — out of beta. Now, live video creators with over 1,000 subscribers in 20 countries can turn it on, and viewers from 40 can pay to promote their pearls of wisdom.

The opening up of YouTube mobile live streaming comes about six months after Google first turned on the feature for a select number of users (such as Lewis of Unbox Therapy and athlete-turned-YouTuber Ben Brown). In a blog post, product managers Barbara Macdonald and Kurt Wilms write that the feature will soon be rolled out even more widely, beyond the 10,000 follower mark set today.

As with the more limited roll out, the live streaming feature is built into the app, where you will be able to snap a cover picture, and then press another button to start recording. Once the live video is over, YouTube visitors will be able to discover them just like they would any other video (and you the creator can also set up privacy features as you would for any other video).

One thing that’s different with the version of live streams on mobile going live today is that YouTube will slow down live chat. “It turns out receiving 2,000 messages per second is a little too fast!” Macdonald and Wilms write. They also note that they’ve also worked on improving streaming quality across a wider range of devices.

YouTube likes to remind us that it has been a notable platform for people to watch live streams since 2011, with events like Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking skydive in 2012 attracting 8 million live viewers on the platform; and more recently, the U.S. elections seeing millions come to YouTube to watch debates and other events as they unfold.

The difference here is the emphasis on videos recorded by YouTubers and everyday people with mobile devices, an area where YouTube has been slow to move.

Instead, services like Facebook’s Live and Periscope (and the now-defunct Meerkat) were quicker to tap into the confluence of faster mobile networks, better devices, and willing audiences of viewers and creators that have a taste for improvised video, to create content that has set a standard for live, unscripted streams.

(It’s notable too that Facebook launched its Live product as a mobile app-first effort in 2015 (the same year that Periscope also emerged) and only turned on a web-originated version last month.)

However, the significance of YouTube finally making a move to expand live vide streams on mobile is that it’s far and away the world’s biggest platform for online video today, with over 1 billion users (nearly one-third of all internet users) visiting at least once a day.

And the fact that more than half of those visits are on mobile means that there is a ready and willing audience of creators and consumers for live streams made on mobile.

While broadcast TV has died a little in the age of on-demand content, it’s services like this, created on platforms the size of YouTube, that have a shot of resuscitating live video popularity for today’s consumers and creators.

super-chat-youtube…and, it might be added, advertisers. YouTube — like Facebook — has been playing with a lot of different formats for how best to monetize video — from autoplaying videos interspersed with ads to adding “midroll” ads during a single video” on its platform — and today marks a wider launch of another revenue-generating feature.

Creators making live videos on desktop or mobile can now turn on Super Chat for comments. Launched in a beta version last month, Super Chat will let viewers pay some money to boost their comments and pin them to the top of the pile for some time — the degree of the boost and pin will depend on how much a commenter is willing to pay. (It’s not unlike the Cheering feature that launched on Twitch last year.) Creators will be responsible for moderating their own Super Chats, as they do their live chats, YouTube notes.

It also looks like YouTube splits revenues for Super Chat in the same way that it does for AdSense, as you can track your revenues from them in the AdSense dashboard.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things about Super Chat is that it lays the groundwork for paying for a whole lot of other things during live streams, and also helps motivate creators to make more of these live streams as part of their bigger business efforts.

5G Technology Network Launch, Speed, Mobile Phones in Future of India.

Hello Friends,… Why 5G Technology come into news before few days? There are a few reasons behind this 5G technology future in India. Let’s get some interesting facts about Fifth Generation – 5G Technology.

As we all know that India is one of the biggest End-User of electronics and gadgets. India has a biggest electronics consumer market in future also. And Digital India needs more speed of the network, to function lightening fast.

5G Technology Future in Digital India.

So, before going over the technical details of 5G. We are seeing some recent events that really start an initiative for 5G technology in Digital India.

As stated times: Ericsson and Nokia have begun a conversation with the Indian government officials and policy makers to push for regulatory framework around the 5G technology, including identification of relevant spectrum band.

How 5G Technology Works?

At present spectrum band between 700Mhz and 2.6, GHz is available for mobile services in India. Wi-Fi services are generally used between 2.4Ghz to 5.9Ghz.

5G Network requires very high bands, and every telephone companies should have at least 100 Mhz each for 5G. considering what they have in India today. A number of Telephone Companies in matured telecom markets are looking at bands around 3.5Ghz and 4.8GHz.

So, friends for the feasibility of 5G Technology, “Spectrum is the important element for 5G. India has to come up with those rules and terms. They [policymakers] can look around the world and see examples on allocations. It’s important that India gets good allocation of spectrum,”

When 5G Technology Start in India?

In India, many Telephone Companies operators are trying to achieve full-scale 4g networks, and still in process of deploying networks.

They are a focus on urban and semi-urban areas, with expanding their 3G footprints in the Digital India. But, 5G Technology is planning to be completed for first 5g commercial deployment in 2020. Many operators in the US, Korea and Japan are preparing to pilot or trial 5g in 2016 and commercially launch the first 5G technology solution from 2017.

So, we are in hope to start our 5G Network in Digital India in 2020. Hope this will become a landmark year in Digital revolution in India.

Why 5G Technology Needed?

1. 5G Mobile network became a world’s fastest network.
2. The wearable electrical circuit has to work 5G Speed.
3. 5G Will Enable Mobile AR/VR.
4. 5G Technologies Might Be For Future Cities.
5. How fast is 5G? Low latency, high Capacity.

Compare that to the 300Mbit/s currently offered by EE’s LTE-A network, and you’ll see that we’re talking about a 12-fold speed increase over 4G here.

A realistic, nicely rounded final figure for 5G speeds, then, could be in the region of 10Gbps.

When will we see 5G?

Most estimates point to a 2020 initial roll-out for 5G network technology.

Know more about Technology Trend 2016.

So, Wingers what do you think about 5G Technology or 5G network future in Digital India?. 5G Mobile Phones, 5G Wi-Fi and 5G smartphone are going to become our future trends. Technology is need to update every moment and 5G is next step in Spectrum. Have a thought on this, share with us.

The tool has shed its Java dependency in favor of compiling Java source code to JavaScript

Google's Closure compiler, for optimizing and transpling JavaScript, no longer needs Java to run. Instead, Java source code is compiled to JavaScript so it can run under Node.js or in a browser. Java-dependent Closure had been introduced by Google in 2009.

The experimental release detailed this week supports ECMAScript 2015 features like arrow functions and let and const, and it provides polyfills for some ES2015 methods. It will check both syntax and types, and will provision warnings for JavaScript "gotchas." Google cautions, though, that some features are not available, and performance may not equal the Java version.

The upgrade is not a rewrite of Closure in JavaScript. To use the new version, developers should add it as a dependency in a project via NPM, though it also can be used with the Gulp streaming build system.

"If you'd like to migrate from google-closure-compiler, which requires Java, you'll have to use gulp.src() or equivalents to load your JavaScript before it can be compiled. As this compiler runs in pure JavaScript, the compiler cannot load or save files from your file system directly," Google's Sam Thorogood, developer programs engineer, said. Developers not using Gulp or Webpack plugins will need to specify code via flags, release notes in GitHub state.

Closure is available under an Apache 2.0 license.
