![]() HUYA LiveĪnother live-streaming platform I have to mention is HUYA Inc., which is the No.1 game live-streaming platform in China. initial public offering (IPO) and it listed itself on the New York Stock Exchange (Nasdaq) with the stock symbol DOYU. In July 2019, DouYu International Holdings Ltd raised $775 million through U.S. In 2019, this site was the largest of its kind in China with 163.6 million monthly active users, more than the 140 million monthly active users of Twitch. ![]() The live-stream platform is also enabling users to submit, view, and add commentary subtitles to videos of games. If you’re talking about live-streaming platforms from China, I couldn’t not mention DouYu TV which is a Chinese live-streaming media platform that provides a variety of live content including games, sports, shows, entertainment, and so on. The only notable difference between the two apps is that WeChat Channels limit video length to 25 seconds while TikTok (or Douyin) allows up to 5 minutes for most users and 15 minutes for a limited number of beta testers.īecause it’s made highly integrated with China’s No.1 chatting app, WeChat, it’s gaining tons of attention from the market and industry and hoping to be able to fight for the market shares from TikTok (or Douyin) and Kuaishou in China. Short videos are “looping”, or automatically played after the last one finished, reminiscent of the popular short video app TikTok (or Douyin), made by Tencent’s major rival ByteDance. This channel is located in the social media feed called WeChat Moment, under the app’s “Discover’ tab, users can explore top-trending videos from celebrities, vloggers, craftsmen, etc. ![]() Tencent launched a short-video feature for its WeChat dubbed Channels (视频号 in Chinese). If you’re looking for different sides of Chinese people and culture, I suggest you can download both TikTok and Kuaishou, to see the difference. ![]() Chinese from lower-tier cities are more of Kuaishou users instead of TikTok (or DouYin), which is why the style of the content from Kuaishou is a bit different to TikTok. It is also starting to push into other areas such as e-commerce.Įven though I think TikTok is still the better one in this short video market of China, Kuaishou actually has its own strength, which is the power user profile from lower-tier cities of China. Kuaishou’s apps now have 769 million monthly active users. In 2013, Kuaishou launched the short video and social media platform and then went live with its own live-streaming function in 2016. Kuaishou, another Chinese short video app company, was founded in 2011 and started out as a mobile app called GIF Kuaishou, which lets users create animated images called GIFs (graphics interchange format). There is a feature called Duets which allows users to add their own video to an existing video with the original content’s audio, which has sparked many of these trends. I have been seeing a variety of trends that have risen within TikTok during the past few years, including memes, lip-synced songs, and comedy videos. TikTok was launched later, I remember it’s 2017. In fact, TikTok is an international version of Douyin, originally released in the Chinese market in September 2016. TikTok hosts a variety of short-form user videos, from genres like dance, comedy, and education, with durations from 15 seconds to three minutes. I believe I don’t need to do much introduction for this phenomenal app TikTok, known in China as Douyin (Chinese: 抖音 pinyin: Dǒuyīn), which is the most popular short video-sharing platform owned by one of the biggest Chinese companies ByteDance.
