We have been busy over at the Littlstar offices. There have been a lot of exciting updates and announcements so far this year, and so many more to come. Think sideloading support on all the VR apps, partnerships with the likes of NBC, Universal, and CNN…among others.

We wanted to take the time to tell you a little bit more about one particular update that will be launching soon. This one is especially important and exciting as it relates to the fundamental core of Littlstar’s platform for creators, and crucially important for our business moving forward.

Ok, here goes.

Starting on August 15th, anyone who has content on their Littlstar profile and is not a Verified Creator will have their content ONLY visible from their own profile when they are logged in, not to the public.

If you are a professional creator and believe your content fits our guidelines, please reach out to us at content@littlstar.com to get verified.

Example of the Verified Indicator symbol

A Verified Creator is anyone who has the blue checkbox on their avatar, and has proven to provide high quality content on a consistent basis to the Littlstar platform.

If someone is not a Verified Creator, they can still upload, view, and test content, but it will not be available to the broader public on Littlstar.com or any of the Littlstar apps.

Why are we making this change?

From the beginning, our goal has always been to provide Littlstar viewers with the best collection of curated, immersive content available. As the industry continues to evolve, the volume of content and users has naturally grown along with it, which we couldn’t be more excited about. This evolution has created new business and product challenges we have been discussing in detail over the last year. It has ultimately led us to this update to ensure we continue to move towards our mission of creating the best experiences possible.

What does this mean for creators?

Verified creators and producers will have their content showcased in an even more intuitive way to be discovered by their biggest fans, as well as new fans.

The creator community will still have all the tools they love to upload, test, and watch their personal content on Littlstar. This community of creators has been integral to the growing immersive industry, and we will not stop working to build the best tools that will allow them to focus on making great experiences.

What does this mean for Littlstar users?

Littlstar users will be able to discover their favorite 360 shows and content through all the apps better than ever before. It will allow for a closer parity of the content libraries across devices. Additionally, this update will set the groundwork for us to continue building in new features and products that will enhance the overall experience for everyone.

We are very excited about this transition, and want to make it as smooth as possible for all of our users. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our platform was built on the feedback of our community and users, and we would love to hear from you.
