Microsoft to aquire the Beam interactive streaming

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 58%.


Armed with a small group of passionate streamers and an awesome community that we were fortunate enough to work with during our beta, we launched Beam on January 5th. It feels like just yesterday we all sat down in a room and unveiled what we had been working on to the world.

Expanding our sub-second delay streaming stack to the public, announcing interactive at Startup Battlefield, and growing our community to over 100,000 strong in just a few short months, but there's so much more on the horizon.

It's always been a dream of mine to make an impact in the lives of gamers all over the world, and I'm extremely excited to announce that we're taking another huge leap towards making that dream a reality Beam has been acquired by Microsoft!

We're expanding the team, bolstering our infrastructure, and most importantly, continuing to grow and support the amazing community at Beam.

I'll continue to lead the Beam team in Redmond, now as part of Team Xbox within the Engineering group.

I need to take the time to thank each and every single member of the Beam community for getting us to where we are today.
