Tumblr has added the ability to stream live video through Livebox. This new function is currently only available to users in the United States without any communication when it will be extended to other countries in the world.

Tumblr Live is the name given to live video streaming on this platform.

The option appears on the Tumblr platform in both the iOS and Android apps, is called Tumblr Live and represents a change from previous streaming possibilities offered by Tumblr but which instead of video they showed content from other platforms such as YouTube.

On this occasion, Tumblr Live uses Livebox technology, which also allows content creators to receive tipsa remuneration that can be used to carry out transactions using tokens called Diamonds (Diamonds) as cryptocurrency.

Livebox also provides mixed content moderation that combines human monitors and the use of artificial intelligence. In the case of human moderation, this includes the assignment of said task to designated users who have the trust of the community.

It should be noted that this new Tumblr video streaming service is only operational for each user’s main blog on said platform, not being available for other secondary blogs that each user could have under the same account.

The current owner of Tumblr, Automattic, acquired this platform in 2019 from its previous owner, Verizon, and with Tumblr Live it seems to want to take advantage of the moment of concern on social platforms that is currently being experienced since Elon Musk’s arrival at the helm. of Twitter, which has led from Meta’s declared intentions to reinforce microblogging on Instagram to the massive exodus of users from Twitter to Mastodon.
