Groot nieuws binnen WorldTV land. Vandaag beginnend, kunt u LEVEND aan uw kanaal WorldTV van uw mobiele telefoon nu uitzenden.

We’ ve partnered met de heetste naam in het mobiele telefoon uitzenden, Qik, om voor een gehele waaier van nieuwe functionaliteit toe te staan die werkelijk zeer koel is.

Fundamenteel hoe het de werken is dat u uw mobiele telefoon als levende videocamera voor WorldTV kunt nu gebruiken, die ‘ kan; neem over’ your WorldTV channel whenever you feel like it. If someone is watching your channel when you start recording video using your phone, the ‘regularly scheduled programming’ (your playlist) is paused, and the live signal from your phone begins. As soon as you stop using your phone, the regular programming resumes from the point you left off. Simple!

All the live recordings that you make with your phone are automatically archived as clips in your Library. This means you can capture video of events that you’re at, safe in the knowledge that you’ll have a copy of them stored in your WorldTV Library. You can then download them to your hard drive by right-clicking on the file in your Library. You can do this for any file in your Library actually.

A range of useful options let you customize the functionality as you wish. For example, you can choose not to have your phone recordings go live on your WorldTV channel as you’re making them, but be archived straight to your Library instead.

You can choose sound effects and text that play when a live broadcast begins. At the moment, around 40 phones are supported, all from Nokia. More are on the way. If you’re in the market for a new phone we recommend the Nokia N95 or the Nokia E51 (with camera). Both phones work great with WorldTV and Qik.

There’s a number of ways you can use this new functionality.

• As a simple means to record things while you’re out and about, knowing they will be safely archived in your WorldTV library without you having to do anything else. No messy cables or confusing software to deal with.
• Live broadcasts from concerts or events for your friends. Simply tell your friends to go to your WorldTV channel and when you start broadcasting live, the channel will automatically switch to the live stream. If you use Twitter, Qik can notify your Twitter followers whenever you are broadcasting live.
• Become a Lifecaster. Basically you can now broadcast any interesting (or not so interesting!) happenings in your life to friends, family and indeed the World. Walking down the street, going for a drive, on the beach, at a party.
• Add live content to your WorldTV channel from other Qik broadcasters. If you find someone who regularly broadcasts on the Qik.com site, you can add them as a ’source’ without having to own a supported phone yourself. Simply add their Qik username as a source.

Qik will guide you through the process of setting up your phone for live streaming. The instructions are not terribly complicated, but you should set aside 30 mins or so to get it right. This is cutting edge stuff.

The basic process is this…

1. You sign up for an account on Qik.com (Use this link and you’ll be approved for a Qik account right away)
2. They send you an SMS with a link to install the Qik live broadcasting software on your phone
3. Play around with the software and phone, make sure your videos are appearing in your Qik account (on Qik.com). If you get a ‘certificate error’ issue upon installation, see this solution.
4. Create a custom Qik username for your Qik profile. In other words… change your Qik username to something more memorable. This part is important. Use the ‘Edit my profile’ link when logged into Qik and select ‘Change your username’.
5. Add your new Qik username to your existing WorldTV channel in the Editor (on the ‘Phone’ tab)
6. Configure any options you want using our handy wizard, or simply use the defaults
7. Start broadcasting live from your mobile phone to WorldTV

Like everything on WorldTV at the moment, this service is in ‘beta’, meaning there may still be quirks while we iron out the wrinkles. We really value your feedback, so please make use of the new feedback tab on the left of these pages to tell us what you think, or how it could be improved. If you have any difficulties getting it set up, feel free to comment directly on this post below and we can then respond publicly so everyone can benefit from the advice.

Qik are a cool company that launched the same time as WorldTV. We’ll be working with them to bring you many more cool features in future.

N.B. If you’re an existing Qik user coming to WorldTV for the first time, you can import all your existing Qik videos into WorldTV simply by pasting in your Qik URL (eg qik.com/smashing) into the ‘Add Clip by URL’ tab on WorldTV. You’ll need to create a channel on WorldTV first which takes no time at all. Simply use our very easy-to-use channel creation wizard.

If you have your own website, why not embed your WorldTV Channel in a page on your site? It’s easy to do.

A couple of WorldTV users have already done this - Hi Fashion TV and Zonatrek.

If you do this for your channel, drop us a line… we’ll help promote it!

A lesser known feature lets you turn your logo into a link. This link can be to any website.

Some people use this to link their channel back to their website. Others are linking one channel to another channel!

While the latter is something we hadn’t thought of, we encourage experimentation at WorldTV, and a logo link is a simple way you can drive traffic to other places.

The way to do it is simple. Go into Channel Settings and look for the Logo section. Here you can enter a web address for your link. You can also specify the text that appears when someone hovers their mouse over your logo. This is called ToolTip text.

(I wonder what someone from the 18th Century reading these instructions would make of them?)

WorldTV lets you bookmark and playlist video from a range of supported sites. These go far beyond the well known sites supported by our search feature.

We suggest exploring the ‘Add clip by url’ tab (in the Editor) to see the sites that you can paste in url’s from. These include the excellent break.com, blip.tv and several other fabulous video sites.

Some of these sites feature much higher quality video than is normal, and you can take advantage of this since WorldTV is high definition capable. You will also find some real gems of content on these sites as they all have passionate user communities that go way beyond the mainstream.

Mixing it up with different sources has another benefit too. While we are in beta, it’s possible for our connection to one or more of these sites to go down temporarily. If you have all your eggs in one basket as it were, it could mean your channel is unwatchable should our connection to a particular site go down. By having video from a few different sources, this problem is averted.

So the tip for today is mix it up with different video sites, there’s a whole world of video out there, and you may find some real gems you wouldn’t otherwise find!

The technology that WorldTV is built on is cutting edge. It’s what allows for example the animated video windows that appear zoom-like when you double-click on something, and the way you can move around windows in the screen and drag and drop items just like on your computer. We wanted it to be easy to use so that it is accessible to anyone.

Sometimes things don’t go to plan and the program misbehaves. A spinning clockface appears indefinitely, or there’s a window you can’t seem to close. These are all problems we are aware of which will be fixed in good time, but for the meantime a simple solution is to ‘reload’ or ‘refresh’ the page in your browser. You will rarely lose any work as the system automatically saves your stuff every 30 seconds.

So the tip is simply… refresh your browser if weird things start happening!
