Happy New Year.
It's been three months since we shared our early beta with a small group of friends and family. At the time, the experience was rough. But you cared enough to invest your time in a novel experience that brings authenticity to a highly produced digital world.
Your feedback, both good and bad, helped us better understand the core experiences our members want. We are deeply grateful for that. We've learned a lot and want to share some of our thoughts and plans. But first, what is this incredible experience that Liveconvos unlocks?
We, humans, are hard-wired to appreciate and seek out stimulating conversations. We feel alive during and after. We are fulfilled by authentically meeting new people.
So what are we creating?
Liveconvos is your venue for conversations. It’s a network of communities that connect, socialize, and create through live video. IRL, your home living room might be your go-to place for entertaining; our members entertain guests, network, and socialize in their own personalized lounges.
Our lounges are micro-communities of hosts and members who share common interests and beliefs. They passionately advocate for what they care about - a cause, topic, business, or just their personal brand. Lounges are just the right size for intimate and impactful discourse—yet pack the horsepower to broadcast to an infinite audience wherever they may be.
Hosts and guests are creating enthralling convos while audience members watch or listen in high-definition. There is no limit to the value you bring your audience whether by inspiring them to act or by inviting them up on stage during your show.
The topics and formats are endless. We've seen college students sharing their profoundly personal COVID struggles, young professionals debating the future of their industries, the launch of live video podcasts, book clubs, interviews, shows, fireside chats, yoga classes, and more.
Hosts often collaborate by guesting in other lounges or co-create a lounge with a unique new flavor of content.
Since most convos use live video, members enjoy an immersive HD experience that connects them more deeply, disarms tension, brings them closer, and displays the full nuance of human expression for higher-fidelity conversations.
Best of all, you, the creator, always own the rights to the content.
Our focus is to provide you the perfect venue to unlock your creative freedom to connect, engage, and co-create more.
Knowledge is a source of power and sharing your knowledge conversationally, outside of a formal setting, is hugely empowering and valuable for your brand.
Liveconvos v1.6
I’m excited to announce that this week, we released v1.6 of our app with support for both mobile and desktop experiences in both full immersive HD video and HD audio. Release notes will be available in our resources center.
What's next?
Usability, stability, and friction busting: Largely driven by any friction our users are experiencing. You can help us by reporting any issues you face.
iOS and Android: We currently support web app experiences on mobile and desktop. We are working to bring a hugely popular request for iOS and android apps in the coming weeks.
Super hosts partnership: as the name suggests, we are seeking to partner with hosts who want to share immersive and original content. We’re exclusively looking to support creators interested in a conversational/narrative arc format that tells a story through conversation. Diversity of topics and genres is a key focus to bring different cultures, identities, ideologies, perspectives, and regions. More information will be posted in the resource center on liveconvos.tv.
Monetization: We take a creator's livelihood seriously. At our core, we believe creators should drive the product, not be the product. We’re currently very focused on identifying a core group of hosts to launch our monetization program with. Please email me if you are interested in participating. waseem@liveconvos.com
Our community guidelines are constantly developing. We aim to protect the precious experience we're creating. We have no tolerance for bullying, racism, harassment, and any other form of abusive behavior. Users are encouraged to report any violations through the Reporting feature.
The depth of our gratitude for the time you spend on Liveconvos cannot be described. We’re committed to driving more conversations and helping creators generate authentic content blazing fast with a lot less effort, cost, and anxiety.
