Twitcam: Live Video Broadcasting on Twitter

Discover Twitcam, a live video broadcasting service for streaming your webcam or mobile device content directly to Twitter.

What is Twitcam?

Twitcam is a live video broadcasting service launched in 2008 that allows users to stream live video content from their webcams or mobile devices. It gained popularity as a way for people to broadcast real-time video over the internet.

One of the key features of Twitcam is its integration with Twitter. Broadcasters can connect their Twitcam account to automatically tweet when they start streaming live video. Their followers on Twitter are then able to tune in and watch the live broadcast via the URL included in the tweet. This made it easy for Twitcam broadcasters to build an audience for their livestreams.

In its early days, Twitcam was frequently used for lifecasting – streaming mundane daily activities. But it later became known for broadcasting live events and breaking news faster than traditional media. It has since been used to stream protests, conferences, music performances, and more.

Twitcam helped pioneer livestreaming and made the concept mainstream. Though Twitcam shut down in 2013 after being acquired, live video has grown rapidly since then. Most social platforms now have integrated options for live broadcasting.
