Problems solved by technology

Current approaches of streaming user uploaded video content in real-time via the web and social media platforms have been unsuccessful in an organized, relevant manner acceptable to use by professional broadcast professionals.

The current practices and capabilities of live stream direct connections are ineffective, laborious, and limit the end-users real-time experience of a live event captured by a first-hand mobile device that they can have direct control over in that use.

Doing so could result in inappropriate video being broadcast and dire consequences for the person or organization broadcasting the video.
