support: Happening now: Live video on Tumblr Post your live videos on your Tumblr, now, in real time. Let’s get you set up. 1. You can post live videos through YouNow (iOS, Android), Kanvas (iOS, Android), Upclose (iOS, Android) and YouTube (Android-ready right now, iOS-ready in a few days). Create an account, and be sure to give them access to your camera and microphone—that part’s important for streaming things. 2. Connect your Tumblr account Each live video app is a little different, but when you go into their settings you’ll look for sharing options. Turn on Tumblr sharing (log into Tumblr if prompted) and tap “Allow.” If you have more than one blog, you can use the app’s settings to pick which one you’re posting to. 3. Go live Make sure you’re sharing to Tumblr, of course. And have a solid internet connection. If you don’t have good service, your video might be choppy or drop out. FAQs: Answered Who sees my live video? Live video works just like any other post. Anyone following you will see it in their dashboard—while it’s live, it’s pinned to the top—and if it gets reblogged, then other people will see it as well. What happens when the live video is over? It becomes a regular video post. What should I broadcast? Um. Class? First date? A drawing of yourself live streaming your drawings? Just don’t live stream yourself driving (eyes on the road, Tumblr!) or anything that might be against our Community Guidelines. How long can I stream? How long do you have? What if the live streaming app stops working? Try closing out the app entirely and restarting. And make sure you have good service.
