YouNow is an American[1] live streaming broadcasting service where users stream their own live video content or interact with the video streams of other users in real time.[2] The service is available on its website and on Android and iOS apps.
The majority of the users of YouNow are under 24 years old.[3][needs update] Many users perform music, game, engage with their fans or dance,[4] others talk or make jokes. A tag-based topic system enables viewers to browse content of their choice, while trending streams enable users to locate more popular webcasters.
