Broadcasting platform Caffeine today unveiled its new social broadcasting platform and tools for games and entertainment livestreaming.
“Caffeine is a completely reimagined broadcasting platform,” the service advised via press release. “It is social, real-time, more personal and requires no third-party software or plug-ins.”
The platform — not to be confused with the Aussie sci-fi horror title of the same name — is currently in pre-release and available via the following links:
“We’re incredibly excited to be sharing more details on the pre-release version of Caffeine,” said Ben Keighran, CEO of Caffeine. “I left Apple to create a company that would fundamentally change the way we create, consume, share, and monetize live content. Our goal was to re-imagine every aspect of live broadcasting — ignoring the good things we could do and focusing on the really great things instead. We are committed to building the best experience for creators, giving them everything they need, from the broadcasting software all the way through to how the audience discovers and enjoys their content. We have put together a world-class engineering and content team that will transform the way the world thinks about live broadcasting.”
“Caffeine is masterfully designed to enable creators in all fields to connect with their audiences in the best way possible,” added Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner, Andreessen Horowitz. “I am extremely excited to be working on this new future with Ben and team.”
The platform offers three ways to broadcast: PC game broadcast software, using a webcam from a Mac or PC browser or the Caffeine iOS app.
