What is a good free android app for sharing live streaming video?

May 7, 2012 3:16 PM

I've been using Skype to allow grandparents to watch my daughters at soccer practice/games. Others have expressed interest, so I'm wondering if there is something I can use (other than a conference call on Skype) to stream the video live so multiple parties can view.

I thought this would be an easy query, but the answers I got back from the big G were less than helpful. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, I would be greatly appreciative!

Target audience is likely less technologically inclined - anything harder than installing Skype on the receiving end is right out. As are any sites that I need to pay for.

TIA!

p.s. If it matters, phone is Motorola Triumph on Virgin Mobile.

Depending on what kind of phone you have, Google has "hangouts" where you can send video chats. It works on my bf's Nexus but isn't compatible with my Triumph...however I can get it to work, but it only uses my front camera (which is awkward if I want to talk face to face, but would be fine for you to send videos without yourself in it)..also, it's pretty easy to use, and yes you can have multiple people.

Hope that helps.

*oh, just saw your note at the end...you have a triumph like me :P guess my point still stands :) Also, the ap is Google+, and you go into "messages" to start a hangout.

There's also a Qik app.

The first thing that comes to mind is Google Hangouts. And depending on what phone you have, it may have come pre-installed already.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
