In other distribution services that support "screen distribution" that can distribute smartphone games, etc.
Attacks have been confirmed in which the Twitter accounts of broadcasters are hijacked using the following techniques.

1. A malicious attacker sends a one-time key for recovering the account of the broadcaster, such as Twitter, while broadcasting.
2. Push notifications of new SMS and emails are displayed on the sender's smartphone and are reflected in the delivery.
3. Malicious attacker verifies the key via distribution and takes over the account

kukuluLIVE also uses the screen distribution function of the kukuluLIVE Encoder2 app,
If you use a smartphone screen capture from a computer, there is a risk of being subject to the above attacks.

[If you are using Android]
Turn on Do Not Disturb while using Screen Streaming.
*Functions and UI may differ depending on the model and version.



[If using an iPhone or iPad]
In screen distribution using the iOS version of the app alone, comments are displayed via push notifications, so if you hide the entire push notification, you will not be able to see the comments.
In this environment, we recommend that you turn off push notifications for apps such as Messages, Gmail, Mail, and LINE .


If you use SplitView on your iPad to always display the comments section, you can turn off push notifications altogether.
If you want to use "Do not disturb mode", you need to set it as follows.

We have released version 3.0.1 of the distribution app "kukuluLIVE Encoder 2 (iOS version)".

- Bitrate efficiency (image quality) in screen distribution mode has been increased by 5 times and fps has been increased by 2 times.
Due to improved bitrate efficiency, image quality can be improved several times even with less than half the bitrate of previous versions.
Previously, we recommended a video speed of 2000Kbps or higher, but even 1000Kbps provides a sufficiently clear image.
It also supports adaptive bitrate, which reduces bandwidth consumption in low-motion situations.
fps is fixed at 30 instead of the previous 15.

- In screen distribution mode, it is now possible to include the playback sound of the app in the distribution. (mixer function)
To enable it, open the "Reading/Quality/Sound Quality" setting from the settings button on the bottom right during distribution and turn on "Add app sound to distribution".

You can still use the microphone mute for screen capture on the iOS side.
If both are set differently, it will be muted if either is muted.

・You can now preview videos in screen delivery mode/external RTMP delivery mode <br>When you press the preview icon, the delivered video will be displayed in PinP on the comment screen. There is a delay because it goes through the server.
