Tumblr Adds Live Video button

Tumblr users can now “post live videos through YouNow (iOS, Android), Kanvas (iOS, Android), Upclose (iOS, Android), and YouTube (Android-ready right now, iOS-ready in a few days)” directly onto their and other users’ dashboards. Tumblr confirms that live video posts can be saved after the broadcast ends and reblogged like any other posts. Tumblr will also send notifications when “anyone you follow goes live” and “pin their video to the top of your dashboard.”
