The LBRY beta app is now available for Windows! This has been the #1 request from users since our launch in July. Now the future of digital content distribution is available on the world's most popular desktop operating system.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
LBRY is currently compatible with Windows 7 and higher. That's 90% of the desktop OS market! The Windows app has full functionality, including the ability to:
|
||
|
||
- Search, browse, then download or stream all LBRY content.
|
||
- Upload original content.
|
||
- Send LBRY Credits (LBC) between users.
|
||
|
||

||

|
||
- 0:44 – **My Wallet:** Check your LBRY Credits (LBC) balance, view your transaction history, send LBC to others, and copy your wallet address to receive LBC from others.
|
||

|
||
- 0:58 – **Publish:** Upload your own content to LBRY. Find out if a LBRY name is available and bid on it. Set a price for your content and add useful metadata.
|
||
|
||
LBRY is a content-sharing and publishing platform that is decentralized and controlled by its users. It allows content creators to post their works to the hosting network, set their price per view/download, and collect payment.
|
||
|
||
LBRY is an open-source protocol, as opposed to a centralized service, so there is no entity to take a "cut" of transactions or change the terms in an attempt to monetize the product. It's like a new extension of the internet for delivering all media – films, ebooks, songs, and apps – from creators directly to consumers with radical efficiency.
