Kamcord mobile-gaming video platform launches in Korea and Japan

While Google wages its battle with Twitch, another company is hanging around and finding its niche on mobile.

Kamcord, a startup that is providing mobile gamers with a way to record and livestream their gaming on Android and iOS, is launching in Japan and Korea today.  To ensure a successful launch in those important, highly lucrative markets, the company has enlisted the help of top YouTube talent in those countries for games like Minecraft and Puzzle & Dragons. Kamcord has already used this strategy in the West, and it has seen success with it — and it believes that it can continue to build up its audience even as Google makes it easier for people to livestream and record on Android.
