The use of live streaming on social media is steadily becoming a new
norm in the everyday lives of Filipinos in today's modern world where they can
capture their finest moments with their friends and loved ones anytime,
anywhere in real-time using only their mobile devices. There are times, however,
that some may enjoy streaming other users especially their favorite social
media influencers and celebrities just to know what's keeping up with them
lately.
Those who are already familiar with Facebook Live, YouTube Live and Periscope
may not have heard of several live streaming apps that are active in the
Philippines, but Kumu.ph is set to literally get out of its own comfort zone
and become one that prioritizes the voice of millions of Filipinos around the
world. And since its inception in 2017, the Philippine-based tech startup has
already won the hearts and minds of its users and gained strong traction in our
local shores. In fact, more than 500,000 registered users have been using the
app more than 30 times a month and its traffic is highly regarded to be among the
top driving online apps and sites in the country.
80% of the registered users driving the app belong to the millennial
generation which makes a little more sense why it is one of the most popular
and widely used among the said generation of Filipinos living with today's
modern innovations and changes. They can either start their own live stream or
find any personality of their choosing who are bound to share their own craft
and stories to the world. But what makes Kumu.ph a unique live streaming service that
caters really well to Filipino mobile users is no less than its bevy of game
shows running on programmed timeslots every day of the week where users can have
a chance to win cash and cool prizes. These include the following:
* Quiz Mo 'Ko (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) - a fast-paced
livestream quiz show for the quick and the clever
* Pinoys Doing Stuffs (every Tuesday and Thursday) - a show where Kumu users
face against each other in challenges for cash prizes
* Multiple Chos - a play on words, with chos being derived from the gay
slang echos that means one is only joking
* Sing Tanong - caters to the Filipinos' love for music and karaoke
Wherever you are and whatever you are going to do, Kumu.ph can be the right
companion if you need to enjoy real-time stories and moments from whoever you
are streaming from within your smartphone. Otherwise, you may have to do it
yourself or try another live streaming app that suits your fancy. Regardless,
it all depends on whether you want to have fun after work and a good time during
your day-off.
