StreamAPI Opens Live Video Funtionality To All On Facebook

June 26, 2009 ·Filed Under Technology News

A couple of days ago we wrote about Facebook’s new Live Stream Box funtionality. Ustream was the first to offer a live video solution for users with Facebook Pages. But the sign up for the free option is limited, and the white-label version carries a one-time fee of $15,000. Enter Stickam. It’s offering live video via its StreamAPI service to anyone. And there’s no set up fee and no monthly fee. But it will still cost you.

The StreamAPI solution is pay-as-you-go, with live video costing you 45 cents a gigabyte. That includes support for HD video, customizable solutions (with no Flash knowledge required) and analytics. It’s a similar approach that Stickam takes with its regular StreamAPI product.

On

that sample Facebook page, you can see live video of traffic in LA.

And while it may not be the Jonas Brothers, StreamAPI has a big partner of its for the Facebook live video functionality. Next week, the cable television network G4 will start using the service, we’re told.
