Hey DLivers / Steemians,
It has been a while since we have had an update from the Development Team. The whole team has been hard at work and since we are approaching DLive version 0.8.0, I wanted to give the current users, and future users of DLive something to look forward to.
My team and I are constantly looking for ways to improve the user experience. This has always been one of my highest priorities. I want every person that uses DLive to feel a sense of ownership and to be proud, to be apart of this great community. I also want to welcome all genre's of content, there seems to be a status quo of gaming attached to live streaming, when that is not the case anymore. I love seeing a wide variety of content on DLive and I hope that this will continue.
Here are some of the features and upgrades that will be coming soon.
Video Storage
Have you ever been to a site and your video did not load or was missing? Video Storage and Performance is so critical for all of our users. DLive values all videos contributed to our platform and we strive to offer the best service. DLive will never delete any of your original content. We will allow you to control whether or not you want your content to be viewed on our platform.
DLive hosts an IPFS node and the video playback performance was not where we need it to be. This leads us to the decision to move away from IPFS, to a better performing video service. You will never have to worry about videos not loading when using DLive.
Localization
I want to cater to all of DLive's users, regardless of what your native language is. In the upcoming versions you will be able to change the language of the whole site. This will assist in helping us expand in all markets.
This leads me to a program that I have been working on, the DLive Ambassador Program. We will be looking for individuals of all languages to help us expand in different markets. If you think you can help DLive grow in your country, we want to hear from you in the comments below! The DLive Ambassadors will be rewarded based on, the impact of the newly onboarded user. There will be more details on this coming soon.
The Next Big Thing - Fanbase
We have a new feature called Fanbase that is coming soon. I don't want to say too much as the full details will be explained in an official post from @DLive. What you can you expect from Fanbase is, the ability to create your own community within DLive, whether you are a live broadcaster or video author. Some of the features include a new chat system with group chats and private chats.
I've included a few teaser pictures.
Notifications
Site wide notifications are coming soon! You will be notified directly on the DLive website when, someone you follow uploads a video, you receive an upvote and much more.
Live Stream and Video Categorization
In the coming version, we will be changing our categorizations of live streams and videos. I want to thank everyone who took the time to do our survey. Your opinion matters to me and all of you are part of the reason for the re-classfication of categories.
I hope that everyone is as excited as I am, about the future of DLive.
I'm ALL IN on DLive, are you?

@wa7 I applaud you guys for the amazing growth this year. Keep up the great work!
Yes.and me.
The chat function at upcoming Fanbase on Dlive - one of the biggest missing links! Great stuff guys!

Dtube has deleted all of my videos from a few months ago, never happened with dlive!
Truth.
The Ambassador programs sounds exciting and I've been sharing some of my plans regarding promotion in Korea with Lin on discord. I hope more people learn about how cool Dlive truly is. The shift away from IPFS will destroy anything that's out there in direct competition with dlive (none!) - and soon new users will have the smoothest, easiest experience signing up for a service built on top of a blockchain. This is what mass adoption will look like - ease of use and dlive #dlivers ;)
I'm all the way in! #inKentWeTrust 💯
Super News @wa7. They are constantly improving. He goes up one level every day @dlive. I was alone all 5 months ago. Now I am a big family. I am ready for any kind of help and support. Best regards... #inKentWeTrust #inDliveWeTrust
You know what, I believe that @dlive is gonna be huge, much bigger than Steemit itself because most of the people in the internet spend most of the time watching the videos. This dapps is where I am very bullish on. I am also all in in dlive because it will make postive impact to the Steem blockchain. Great updates @wa7
This is crazy, every day that passes I'm more confident Dlive is the best choice to share videos and stream live. I can't wait to see how the fan base works in practice! Keep kicking ass DLive team!
It is like this, it is the best current option to share videos in real time, it gives a kick to several sites, greetings !!!
With 149 broadcasts and 8 videos I think you could say that I'm pretty much all in on Dlive, wouldn't you say? The only times I missed out on a stream was when I was sick or just wasn't in town or something. Awesome platform with a loving community and nothing bad to say about it. The onlyaspect that needs to be worked on is engagement.
The amount of development you put out is simply admireable. I never had problems with loading videos on Dlive which I can't say about Dtube where every other video I try to load doesn't work.
Have you considered implementing a designer marketplace for overlays and animations? Made a video suggestion about it but sadly no one replied. This is how I envisioned it to be but I'm sure you will have a better way of going about it.
#inDLiveWeTrust #ALLinOnDlive
Couldn't agree more. I think this is a brilliant idea. A lot of people struggle to get started in this community. It would be a great way to do something for the community and make a name for themselves.
we have a really amazing experience in DLIVE! surely, this will boost our profitable scope within the community :)
LEGENDARY STUFF KENT! IM ALL IN ON DLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too. Wooouu I think this is really amazing. This is a really incredible platform, it is notorious that you do a great job. I am eager to read the next post with more details. Thanks for sharing the information @wa7.
Wow, exciteted to see how much DLive has grown in such a short amount of time. I want to thank you and your team, if it wasn't for DLive I would have never started streaming. #inDLiveWeTrust
I am very happy because these advances are an incredible group and I am willing to join to expand the market in my country Venezuela. The world is changing and you are part of that change.
Good news bravo kent #inDlivewetrust

Extraordinary news, I would love to be an ambassador of dlive in my country Peru if there is the opportunity
Hard to beat. 2 ❤ ❤ for the update
Ambassador me me me. waiting for more info!
Cheers ❤
OMG! I'm so excited!
I'm considerably new to DLive (cause I had icky internets), but I'm ALLLL In!
Woohoo!
Absolutely stellar update. As someone that uploads and streams tons of content every single day, I can't tell you guys how invaluable this platform is, and how excited I am for the future. Keep it up!
Wow, what an incredible update! I'm particularly looking forward to the "Localisation" and "Fanbase" features to be added. You guys must be working tirelessly in trying to evolve this platform into the behemoth that DLive will soon be. Congrats, DLive team. The future of this platform is looking very bright indeed.
Thank you to each and every one of you!
Legend KENT ! <3 We Trust and Love YOU
One if the most important things that steemit is missing are notifications. Like phone notifications.
Would be nice if there was a dedicated phone DLive app where you could watch the stream and get notifications on your phone that someone you follow just went live.
Sure that (on Android) you can use Chrome browser, click 3 dots and "add to main screen" and it will look and work almost like an app but... there are few thing missing like notifications and...
Even though I am trying to use only 2500MBps so that people wont have lags, they do. If there as an ability to reduce the video quality for those who are watching (like on that phone) to let's say 480p, that would be amazing.
Oh and "PL" language :D
This is awesome! 👏
But I will still do my best to make the file as small as possible😜
This is something I definitely agree with - the ability to change the quality of the stream. I spend a lot of time on the train going back and forth from my home to the city. There is WiFi, but it's usually not the greatest. If I would have the option to choose the quality, I would be able to tune in to my favorite streamers on DLive as I'm taking my 40 minute ride on the train.
And yes - PL as a language, please! The massive following from Poland out there is incredible! Not only on @carrioner streams, whenever there is a Polish stream going, there's tons of people tuning in. Give Poland some love ^^
im all in
When we are able to stream on Dlive usiy our smartphones.
I have not tried it myself, but I know for a fact that there are lots of people streaming games they play on their smartphones, if that's what you meant.
This is the help section link about streaming from an Android Phone:
https://help.dlive.io/en/article/broadcast-using-bitstream-android
And here's one for iOS:
https://help.dlive.io/en/article/broadcast-using-live-air-solo-ios
Sorry if you didn't mean game streaming, my knowledge here is limited. As I said, I have never tried streaming from my smartphone, but these are the guides available on the official DLive Help section.
I'm patiently waiting for that day too, my friend!
Dlive evimiz Kent babamız
bu iyiymiş aga dgjhnfgjfg :D
Awesome news , The Ambassador programs sounds exciting i realy like to be in Ambassador programs. i will be waiting for more details. Fanbase Chat will bring a new excitement to @dlive #inDLiveWeTrust #inKentWeTrust
I am as excited as everyone out here about the future of DLive! I have found my home on the Steemit blockchain, and it's you guys.
I have been ALL IN since the very start of DLive existence and I don't intend to stop. DLive has allowed me to fulfill the livestreamer dream. It is one of the best things that has happened to me.
Also, I would be more than happy to volunteer for the DLive Ambassador Program and help doing translations and more! My language capabilities are limited to Latvian (my native language) and Norwegian. I would be honored to help out translation-wise and even proof reading English articles, should there be a need for it.
Heck, I can even send my resume to get approval :)
Keep rockin', DLive!
That new features sounds amazing! Especially Fanbase.
I'm glad and appreciated that you will still support vloggers with videos as well. I'm always happy when I've got upvote from @dlive :)
no IPFS anymore? perfect!
Thank You @wa7 !
wow das klingt super, und lässt hoffen das die deutsche Streamer-Community weiter wächst und gedeiht.
As always, solid post!
Thank you for everything, DLive
I don't even feel a sense of ownership on my own content. I can't delete my streams, so I'll pass until you fix it.
I would love to work as an embassador in the UK and Lebanon. I switch back and forth between the countries.
You guys are killing it. I switched from dtube a few months ago and not looking back.
Yahoo Dliver
Awesome news! 2 way chat will be a super nice feature.
Thanks for the Super platform ,every day I am getting more into it I’m Polish 25 years in the USA, let me know if I can help with some translation
#dliveforever very excited! can't wait.
Awesome news , keep up on your great work 👍
This looks amazing! I'm all in on Dlive :)
This is awesome!
@wa7 WoW this is great! I have never tried vlog but this might just be the time to give Dlive a try :D
Best wishes to you.
Very Exciting! Awesome contributions to the Steem blockchain!! I am so gonna brave my fears and get doing some dLive videos!! Woohoo! 🎉🎶🌻
Thanks for the update, Kent! Great work! I think I’ll like all the new features, especially the localisation. Keep on going! 👌
I love all the progress Dlive has been making.
