As YouTube Gaming works to put a dent into Twitch’s lead in the game-livestreaming space, a smaller startup is building up momentum with a focus on the huge audience of mobile gamers.
Kamcord, the company that provides gamers with a destination for mobile videos and livestreams, is seeing a major uptick in use since it introduced broadcasting features earlier this year. In just the last two months, the top eight Kamcord partners alone have racked up over 200,000 followers on the site. The platform’s top stream so far, a two-hour Boom Beach session (it’s a strategy game), had 192,000 unique viewers. And as those numbers continue to grow and surprise Kamcord, the company is looking ahead to areas like esports to reach an even larger and more engaged audience.
