Today, Björn and me visited the conference Net4Change in Stockholm. We took the opportunity to interview Måns Adler from Bambuser after his seminar ”Watching the watchers – democratized real- time video broadcasting”.

The conference Net4Change, with the longer name ”Internet and democratic change – Net activism, empowerment and emancipation” is organized by Sida and the The Julia Group. Among the speakers where Måns Adler, one of the founders from the live video broadcasting service Bambuser.

Bambuser was together with Twitter the two services that were shut down first in Egypt. Måns Adler will during his presentation tell you the story about real cases of live mobile video streaming from Egypt and other countries as well as why the technology helped to raise awareness in traditional media.

We took the opportunity to interview Måns after his seminar. You can see it at the top of this post.

Måns talked about his seminar but we also talk about some nice tips while using Bambuser.

Two general tips for making mobile video

Here are two tips that you can use to improve you mobile videos, live as well as recorded.
- Use a microphone or headset mic, if you connect a microphone or just the headset microphone to your device, sound is extremely important and can easily be improved.
- Work in pairs, one person is only focused on making a stabile picture while the other person can do interviews or jus comment the situation.

Normally we don’t do English posts but today felt like a really good reason for an exception. I you have any mobile video or streaming questions, feel free to contact me or Björn on Twitter: @petterkarlsson & @bjornfalkevik
