Case Study: LiveTube achieves scalable, real-time curated live-news streaming with Wowza Video

Broadcasting Publicly Sourced Content With Journalistic Standards

LiveTube empowers ordinary smartphone users to capture and stream breaking events to a cloud-based newsroom. Founder Sven Herold built the platform to overcome the financial and logistical limits of traditional journalism—creating a flexible, software-first system that could verify and amplify eyewitness video at scale.

By integrating Wowza Streaming Engine with AI and human producers, LiveTube verifies, curates, transcodes, loops, and simulcasts live streams with a 30-second latency for editorial control. The result is the world’s first curated social live video network: a reliable, high-volume workflow deployed in LiveTube’s cloud that supported 1,000 producers by the end of 2022, broadcasts in nine languages, and provides fair compensation to contributors.
