Vpype, a social video company, has launched the Vpype Live Broadcaster for Facebook at the Social Media World Forum. Vpype Live Broadcaster enables all 400+ million Facebook members to create and share live, interactive video content through an easy-to-use broadcast application.

Vpype Live Broadcaster is a platform that allows Facebook members to create scheduled or unscheduled interactive live shows, send video notes, store completed broadcasts and share videos. What's more, the application's interactive platform allows participants to chat with the broadcaster in real-time and produces a visual transcript, while displaying their Facebook picture and name.

Features of the application include:

Live chat facility alongside each video for audience participation
Easy to view chat history and embeddable video player

The creation of a dedicated 'video' tab to store recordings on user profiles and fan pages
