The announcement came on Wednesday via Reddit's Neil in a blog post, stating, "I'm pleased to announce that reddit live is now... ahem... live."
The Reddit Live feature under semi-open beta testing was only accessible by Reddit employees and select beta testers, but has now been made available for everyone. Multiple users can now submit unlimited posts on a Reddit Live thread, and those watching will get live updates from all posters without having to refresh the thread.
Reddit Live updates also support embedding of tweets, images, YouTube videos and other links. "These live threads exist outside of subreddits and are designed to be submitted, like any other link, to whichever (multiple) subreddits are relevant to the thread. Pictures, video, and more can be embedded in the updates by simply pasting a link," mentioned the blog post.
