Welcome to Rumble! This is my first posting going into detail so please bare with me as it maybe a little rough. Wanted to give you guys a little more details about the stream for those that perfer reading or following. So let's get started!
Who is Rumble?
Rumble Company Break-down:
Rumble Cloud - Server Hosting Services
Rumble Video - Video Streaming Platform
Locals - Members Only Content/Community Platform
R.A.C (Rumble Advertising Center) - AD Agency
Rumble Studio - Streaming App Developed by Callin(Purchased by Rumble)
How can i watch Rumble?
- Browser
- iOS
- Andriod
- Smart TV
- Xbox (*NOT RELEASED)
So there is not doubt that recently Rumble has been getting alot more attentions and seekers, as you can see in the latest public release. 58 Million Monthly Active Users is impressive and on top of that 10.7 Billion Minutes Watched Monthly. Once again not Youtube numbers but it's growing steady and once the Apps get updated fully these numbers will be boosted for sure. Think a really important thing is to see how many devices Rumble is available on, as a creator that makes me happy that my viewer can enjoy a stream on any device.
RUMBLE COMING TO XBOX!! Yes! this is correct. In the last interview with Rumble CEO it was confirmed that the first console app will be Xbox. Now as alot of questions come up with this one on a few things but mostly... how will it work? My thought is it will be broken in two parts (watching/streaming). Still interesting on how it will play out but for Rumble Gaming this is a huge win as it will open doors to new users and streamers.

Setting up a Stream
On the top right of the screen it you click "Go Live" then you will be prompted below.
You will have to enter your Stream Infomation here and make sure you fill out ever box as much as possible, think of this of digital real estate you can own. Thumbnail design i feel are very important to show your brand, vibe or whatever just make sure it flows. Place holder video would be a video that is looped while your stream is awaiting start, meaning it shows viewers it and loops until you start stream.
Tags are something that they will us upcoming in content discovery. Meaning using tags for possible search results? i would hope to see more use for this feature.
Make sure you set your visibility correctly as if you testing a stream maybe you wanna start with a private stream as it will not be shown to anyone else.
