Kick: Where Community Thrives — Introducing Kick App 2.0 and our Community Website

Kick is now well on its way to becoming the top choice for streamers and viewers too. In August we hit over 100m hours of content watched for the first time since our launch, an incredible milestone.

However, our team remains fresh in the knowledge that this is only the beginning and knows that if we want to continue breaking boundaries and pushing forward at our current rate, we must keep our foot on the gas. We therefore continue to update our existing products while searching for new, innovative ways to enhance our offering in ways viewers and content creators alike can recognise and utilise to their advantage.

Last month’s launch of our all-new Kick app (which has been rebuilt from the ground up), offers a streaming experience like no other. While the first iteration of our app enabled us to really hit the ground running, it was obvious that deeper changes were needed to handle both our current growth and future trajectory. Here’s why we think it’s a game-changer:

Improved Chat Experience: Communication is at the heart of what we are doing and is what live streaming is all about. We know how important the creator/viewer relationship is in this industry and knew that we needed to modernise Kick’s chat feature with this in mind. The chat feature has now been completely revamped to ensure seamless interaction between creators and viewers, meaning that engaging with your favourite streamers and fellow viewers has never been easier.

Airplay support: Kick App 2.0 doesn’t confine your viewing experience to a single screen. With Airplay support, you can effortlessly stream your favourite content on larger screens and share the excitement with friends and family.

Highly optimised on IOS and Android: Kick App 2.0 is not just another app; it’s a meticulously optimised streaming tool. Whether you’re using an iOS or Android device, you can expect a fluid and responsive experience that lets you focus on the content, not the technology.

Our team has also been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to introduce yet more features designed to enhance our product offering and ultimately our community’s experience.

The Community Website: Building Connections safely.

Our commitment to fostering a strong and vibrant community is further demonstrated by the introduction of our new community website. It serves as a place that brings together exciting project updates and key announcements and also acts as a forum in which content creators can share their unique experiences.

A New Era for Streaming with Kick

Coming from live streaming and content creation backgrounds ourselves, our team understands that streaming isn’t just about the content. Rather it’s about the connections you make and the communities you build. The thrill of going from 0 to 100 live viewers, more social media followers and exciting business partnership opportunities should never be underestimated and its our job to ensure that Kick creators are as empowered as they can be to reach their true potential.

Our ecosystem is designed to facilitate the coming together of creators and viewers, enabling them to interact effortlessly with one another, celebrate their shared interests and build life changing experiences together.

In a world where streaming platforms often prioritise numbers and metrics, Kick prioritises the people who make streaming special — you. It’s not just a streaming platform; it’s a streaming revolution.
