Samsung announced during the past days a new application for Android called Game Live, allowing the transmission of game sessions made by users on social networks. The new application from Samsung is entirely intended for gamers, who can show their friends how to play on the Korean company's terminals, motivating others to do the same when they feel the need.
Samsung launched the Game Live application to allow its customers with smartphones to broadcast live on Twitch, Facebook, or YouTube, any game sessions made in the terminals. The function is a very useful one, because Samsung offers compatibility for all games available in its terminals and offers before Apple a function that will be available starting from iOS 11 for us.
Samsung most likely saw that iOS 11 will have a similar function that allows recording the iOS screen and transmitting live images. For now, iOS 11 does not have options for the locations where these images are transmitted, but most likely the Apple company will allow us to show everything on social networks around the world, just like Samsung, otherwise the function would not really make sense.
Samsung is releasing an iOS 11 function in advance
Samsung limits live broadcasts to video files that have a maximum size of 4 GB, so only about 200 minutes of gameplay from the terminals. Of course, the resolution can be changed, and reducing it in the Samsung application will allow transmissions to be made for longer periods of time, so everything is up to the users who use it.
Samsung offers the possibility to make the broadcasts with or without sound, including the option for users to speak over the sound that is normally played by the game. All transmissions made using the Samsung application are saved in smartphones, as is the case with what iOS 11 does through the new function that the Apple company will offer for us.
Samsung practically thought of the new function so that its users would have this system before the release of iOS 11, but it will be interesting to see what the Apple company will offer.
