NEW HOPE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a leading provider of interactive livestreaming solutions, today announced that several new product features, including Levels, have begun rolling out to users of its MeetMe app.
Levels tracks, rewards, and gamifies engagement in live video. As livestreamers grow their audience, stream more frequently and produce compelling content, they can earn “streamer points” and progress through the ranks from Newbie to Bronze, Silver, Gold, and beyond. At each new rank, they will unlock new tools and bonuses available only to streamers of that level, including virtual facemasks, backgrounds, and special animations.
“Levels add a fun, competitive and rewarding dynamic to Live,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of The Meet Group. “We believe the feature will entice streamers to stream more often and engage their audiences even more than they do today. We also expect Levels to stimulate viewer gifting, as viewers look to assist their favorite streamers in achieving the next level. We expect to launch a similar progression system for viewers in the coming months.”
In addition, the Company has begun rolling out other new features to users of its MeetMe app: Tiered VIP Badges, which expands the current VIP program to better reward and incentivize top gifters; and Gifting from the Miniprofile, which allows livestreaming viewers to receive gifts, a benefit previously only available to streamers. The Company expects all MeetMe users to have access to these features within the coming weeks.
