Our goal to empower news photographers with the ability to publish photos and videos to the web hot of the camera is getting a big boost today. In TT News Agency, we found a company that shares our vision! Together we’ll be able to extend our platform with dynamic media feeds from photographers all over the world.

So to all existing clients that have believed in us thank you for your support!
While Shootitlive will continue to work as it always has, we’re confident that you will love the new things that Shootitlive and TT News Agency will cook up together. Martin will be joining the team at TT to work with Shootitlive and business development.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to our investors, friends, previous colleagues, our families, and our partners who supported us unconditionally from the beginning.

The Shootitlive WordPress Plugin makes live publishing in WordPress easy.

The Plugin is open source and is easy to customize and extend for developers.
Checkout the plugin on github or at https://wordpress.org/plugins/shootitlive/

In this post Shootitlive is embedded with the project “sort-test”, with share button enabled. The player is placed in bottom of post.

The Shootitlive settings page. Where the API key and tokes goes

Crowdsourcing photos and videos through Instagram and email is a popular feature of Shootitlive.

In addition you can also have a upload form, where your visitors can upload media to your site.
You can choose to have those media files go straight live into your Shootitlive player or to end up unpublished in your project (requiring a click to publish)

Have a look at how Svensk Jakt have implemented a upload box, using the Shootitlive API over at http://svenskjakt.se/jakt-prylar/lasarnas-jakter/dela-med-dig-av-din-algjakt/

Then you can head over to the Shootitlive Web Upload API Demo (and look at the source for that page)

You’re free to use anything from the “Shootitlive Web Upload API Demo” page to implement our Upload API on your own site. We recommend using the jQuery File Upload, since it has already worked out a lot of quirks related to cross-browser compatibility and CORS (i.e. submitting a POST request through XMLHttpRequest)

If you have any questions or problems, email us at support@shootitlive.com
