Justin.tv is notable for its origin: The original Justin.tv was a single channel featuring founder Justin Kan, who broadcast his life 24/7 and popularized the term lifecasting
. In 2007, Justin Kan stopped broadcasting and Justin.tv relaunched into its current form as a network of thousands of various channels.
Users are permitted to broadcast to an unlimited number of people for free, and watching broadcasts does not require user registration. Broadcasts that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18. Broadcasts containing defamation, pornography
, copyright violation
s, and material encouraging criminal conduct is prohibited by Justin.tv's terms of service
.
The original Justin.tv was a single channel featuring Justin Kan. Wearing a webcam attached to a baseball cap and streamed online via a laptop-backpack system designed by co-founder Kyle Vogt, Kan decided he would wear the camera 24/7, and he began streaming continuous live video and audio at midnight March 19, 2007.
The novelty of the concept attracted media attention, and Kan interviewed with Ann Curry
on the Today Show (April 2, 2007), Tom Merritt
on the first episode of CNET Live, Nightline (April 6, 2007) and World News Tonight (April 8, 2007). His lifecasting project has been compared to EDtv
, Being John Malkovich
, and The Truman Show
.
By August 2007, channels were being added at an average rate of two a day, with content covering both lifecasters and event streaming. The international locations range from Australia
, Brazil
, the United Kingdom
, and France
to the Netherlands
and Sweden
. In some cases, a lifecaster might travel from one country to another, as was the case when Lisa Batey
traveled from Brooklyn
to Tokyo
and Kyoto
in 2007 and 2008. Not all the participants have mobile equipment, however, and most simply transmit an image of themselves sitting at their computer. During this same time frame, singer-songwriter Jody Marie Gnant
and others, like E-TARD the lifecaster began lifecasting independent of Justin.tv on Ustream
and elsewhere.
On October 2, 2007, Justin.tv became an open network, allowing members of the public to register and broadcast. By April 10, 2008, Kan stated in an Interview with Tom Merritt
that Justin.tv had signed 30,000 broadcasting accounts.
On March 14, 2008, Justin.tv added selectable Categories for broadcasters including: Featured, People & Lifecasting, Sports, Music & Radio, Gaming, News & Tech, Animals, Entertainment, Divas & Dudes.
On Friday, June 27, 2008, Justin.tv added networks to the site, in which the user could make their own network with a forum, and officers that would act as moderators for the network. On Thursday, March 25, 2010, these networks were removed from the site.
On Monday, October 27, 2008, Justin.tv added Headlines which allows users to make reports on other broadcasters doing interesting things on the site, which then becomes edited and published for all users on the website to read and comment.
For ease of use, a simplified redesign was introduced July 14, 2009.
On Monday, April 5, 2010, Justin.tv changed the design of their archive page, renaming them to Past Broadcasts. Essentially all past broadcasts are saved as a clip, and deleted after 7 days. From the Past Broadcast you can highlight for permanent save.
In June, 2011, Justin.tv separated its "Gaming" section to a new site, called TwitchTV
On October of that year, it was announced that TwitchTV would be sponsoring Team Liquid
, a professional StarCraft II
team.
. Users can broadcast directly from the site, with Justin.tv using Flash to auto-detect and stream from an attached webcam. Justin.tv also supports broadcasting using other third party software, most notably QuickTime Broadcaster, Camtwist, Flash Media Encoder, Wirecast, XSplit Broadcaster and VLC
, to allow broadcasters to add effects or stream higher quality video.
Justin.tv has no default video quality setting; instead, it sets bitrate
on a case-by-case basis by testing the broadcaster's available bandwidth. The broadcaster can also manually adjust the bitrate before going live. While broadcasting from the browser, the maximum quality settings are 1000 kbit/s for video and 44 kHz for audio. As a comparison, YouTube High Quality video are 400-500 kbit/s, and 720p high definition
video is approximately 2000 kbit/s. The 1000 kbit/s limit can be exceeded by using alternate broadcasting methods, such as Flash Media Encoder and Quicktime Broadcaster, and 720p video in H.264
has been broadcast by some users.
Following the Justin.tv re-design in July 2009, the default channel video size changed from a standard aspect ratio of 468 x 353 pixels to a widescreen 630 x 353 pixels.

Another snippet is given to embed the associated chatbox as well, thus allowing users to recreate the basic Justin.tv functionality on another page. Broadcasters have the option of disabling embedding for their specific channel.

., although Justin.tv complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
. In August 2009, Justin.tv announced a deal with Fox
to actively filter streams in real-time. Justin.tv now uses a filtering system from Vobile to detect and filter out any copyrighted content, and remove the channel from the website.
During the period when Justin.tv consisted solely of Justin Kan lifecasting, Justin became the target of several pranks. A viewer spoofed Justin's caller ID
(publicly available on the site) using an IP Relay
service. On March 21, 2007, the spoofer called the San Francisco Police Department
and filed a false report about a stabbing in the apartment. The following day, someone reported a fire at the apartment. The San Francisco emergency services then put Justin.tv's number on a list which requires a confirmation call before responding to any emergencies. Kan changed his number and kept the new one private.
In July 2008, TheDefaced.org, a computer security group, released a non-malicious cross-site scripting (XSS) worm
onto the Justin.tv site. After successfully propagating the virus, TheDefaced.org contacted Justin.tv programmers and worked with them to fix the vulnerability.
