  • The content creators will create unique, positive and engaging live experiences for audiences in Malaysia and around the world

As the community continues to shelter at home and practise social distancing, Bigo Live, a leading global live streaming platform, has been gaining positive traction in Malaysia. In the next six months, Bigo Live will invest in growing its community by bringing onboard up to 5000 content creators monthly. Up to 30,000 content creators in Malaysia will be live on the Bigo Live platform by the end of this year.

In Malaysia, Bigo Live has seen over 20 percent growth in the number of Bigo Live users. The onboarding of more content creators serves to meet this growing demand and interest. The Bigo Live community encompasses a diverse group of individuals of varying talents who share and create content to inspire and uplift during the pandemic.

Since the launch of Bigo Live’s campaigns such as #STAYATBIGO, Bigo Live content creators have been given an opportunity to entertain and perform, while earning an income. All accredited creators have a unique story, skill set and knowledge to share with their fans through livestreamed sessions. This July, we highlight some of the unique livestreamers who have kept users engaged during the pandemic:
