About Bigo Live

Bigo Live is a mobile live streaming app for social networking. Users can broadcast their life moments, showcase their talents, send virtual gifts, and interact with people worldwide in fun live sessions.

  • The fast growing app is available globally in more than 150 countries.
  • Bigo Live provides an opportunity for broadcasters to gain a huge following & generate revenue from their fan base.
  • Live Streamers can start broadcasting at any time & perform their fun, unique talents to entertain live audiences.

This is where a host can connect to multiple people on live cam at the same time.

  • Bigo Live allows hosts to start a “multi-live” which can include 4, 6, or 9 people in a room at a time.
  • Rules: The host can admit or remove people from their broadcast. Host and the designated admin can accept requests of audience to join stream. Admins of a broadcast control live stream comments & audience.
  • Commission: Hosts are allowed to take commission of gifts received by other broadcasters while sitting in on their broadcast. Hosts can set this commission from 10-50% and they can’t change it once a streaming is started.

Audio lives are the broadcasts where hosts are only allowed to voice chat with viewers and callers. There is no video allowed.

  • Rules: It works exactly like multi live but in audio form only.
  • Commission: Hosts can charge 10-50% as commission from other broadcasters on the gifts received by them while sitting on that stream.
  • It also has a feature to connect random people automatically selected by the app’s algorithms.

Hosts can live stream game play on their mobile devices or computers.
