Streaming video from mobile phone sounds like a complex task. you need to record the video, upload it to the internet and then share it. Qik is one of my favorite application, click on one button and the E72 streaming live video to the internet!
Navigate from your Nokia E72 to http://m.qik.com and download the application. It also can be found in OVI store.
When running the application for the first time there is a need to create new account if you don’t have one or login to an existing account. for now on your are ready to stream live video include audio or to record videos offline and upload them later.
Click on the middle navigation key to start recording/streaming video, the video can be found at http://qik.com/<your username>
Public (Click on #5)- anyone can see it on the above location
Private (Click on #0) – Only confirmed users can watch your videos.
The option menu provide additional features:
Geolocation – geolocation tagging, from a city level through street level and the maximum accuracy level of track live level which allows automatic updates of you location while streaming. When this features enabled a map of the location video was taken displayed on the Qik site.
Audio – Mute audio /un-mute
Share – Sharing the video using SMS to send hyperlink, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, using qik site and additional applications.
