About us

LiveTube is the first and only platform worldwide connecting smartphone users with a newsroom for their live videos and paying them. We turn 3.5 billion people into paid camera operators who can go live on air. One of over 1,000 professional journalists selects the live video, monitors it, and distributes the stream in real-time to news channels, social media, and viewers around the globe from a cloud-based newsroom.

In a world where traditional media and independent journalism are threatened,

fake news dominates the conversation, and everybody is connected. LiveTube provides public information for the good of the public. We believe in giving people a way to use their phones to show the world what’s really happening.

Other than with Facebook Live, Twitter or TikTok, all LiveTubes are verified, validated, and fact-checked BEFORE they are chosen for broadcast. Furthermore, all LiveTubes are monitored in real-time and delayed. The producer can interfere at any time.

A NEW APPROACH TO CITIZEN JOURNALISM

1.500 PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS CURATE USER-GENERATED CONTENT IN REALTIME.

Our teams monitor, supervise, and produce incoming news from the public 24/7. Each team consists of experienced journalists and represents professionals with diverse backgrounds – coming from different cultures and speaking multiple languages. Our shifts follow the sun and time-zones. To guarantee a consistent, high-quality approach to all local and global stories, every shift is supervised by senior producers, executive producers, and ultimately steered by a chief editor.

USER-GENERATED CONTENT DELIVERED FROM A GLOBAL NEWSROOM

Broadcaster and Publishing Professionals have access to the LiveTube MediaHub. They can take live streams directly into your control room or embed them into your website or blog. Every content piece comes from our producer hub. It is fully curated, meets all broadcast standards, and comes as a clean-feed. No chat. No Flying Hearts.
