Mogulus today announced it has changed its name to Livestream  to more effectively brand and broaden its leadership position in the rapidly growing live video streaming industry.
As much as we loved our old   name, it was time for a change that reflects our growth and more clearly  communicates what we do.

Mogulus, probabilmente per superare i soliti problemi di stabilità della sua piattaforma, ha lanciato il suo client. Si chiama Procaster, per ora disponibile solo per Windows, ma la versione per Mac non dovrebbe tardare. Procaster promette mirabiglie:

ProCaster is a new free desktop application that will dramatically and automatically boost your broadcasts to the absolute highest quality possible. It’s also the simplest broadcasting application available, despite offering some great new features we think you?re going to love. ProCaster is fully integrated with Mogulus, including moderated control over your chat, Twitter, and 3D Effects. If you can see it, you can stream it. Cameras, Webcams, 3D games, Websites, PowerPoint, desktops.
