Tickaroo has many features that make creating live blogs even easier. Once you have set up your live blog and have posted your first entry, you can open an editing menu, by clicking on the entry you would like to edit. Here you can hide or show various content, mark an entry as important, schedule a post for a later time to be published, or define Milestones within your live blog.

You can take pictures and record videos with your smartphone and publish them directly into your live blog. Naturally, you can upload photos and videos from your computer as well. With your smartphone, a 2-minute livestreaming option is also available.

When you highlight text, a text editor automatically appears, which allows you to create headings, and adjust the typographical emphasis of your text.

The more photos, gifs, and videos you upload into your live blog, the more interesting and exciting your live blog will be for your readers. Integrating multimedia content is a fast and simple way to produce a more vivid live blog.

The link will remain as a preview link, which your users can click on.
