Shootitlive is usually about live media feeds with unedited photos, audio and video clips straight from the photographer’s camera to the web site. But nowadays we have users that use Shootitlive with longer, edited videos as their main web-tv platform. And just as with the live media feeds, videos play seamlessly on iPhones, Desktops and other platforms.

Shootitlive is proudly powering web-tv for customers such as Dagens Media, NyTeknik and Affärsvärlden.

“We’ve used Shootitlive as our web-tv platform since October and we’re very satisfied with the simplicity, stability and ease of use”
Peter Edhäll, CTO at Talentum

Head over to Dagens Media to catch the latest episode of DMTV where Jan Helin, Editor-in-chief at Aftonbladet is talking about the future for newspapers. Or go all geeky with Under Skalet from NyTeknik where they screw apart a Canon 500D camera piece by piece.

If you’re an existing Shootitlive user, get your popcorn out and start uploading your videos.
