Game developers on Android now have an easy way to turn their fans into livestreamers.
Google revealed today that it is opening up Android’s built-in gameplay recording to developers. Studios can enable players to start recording or broadcasting their gameplay with the touch of a button. This means Clash of Clans players, for instance, don’t need any extra hardware or software to begin making video content. They can then directly upload these clips to YouTube (or any other service). Google plans to launch this in the “coming months” as a way to give Android developers a way to reach YouTube’s massive audience that helps power the $34.8 billion mobile gaming industry.
