"We are pleased to continue rolling out livestreaming video to the LOVOO audience, building on our previous launches in Austria, Switzerland, and France with this expansion to Spain and Italy," said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of The Meet Group. "We are progressing ahead of schedule, and we expect to bring Live to Germany, LOVOO's largest country, later this summer."

Live gives LOVOO users a brand-new way to interact with one another by allowing them to broadcast from anywhere at any time. The Live feature provides a new platform for entertainment and for forming authentic, meaningful connections.

"We believe LOVOO Live's early success is confirming that livestreaming has become important in the context of meeting new people and forming genuine relationships," said Florian Braunschweig, co-founder of LOVOO and GM Europe for The Meet Group. "We're already seeing the average Live viewer watch more than 15 minutes per day, and approximately 2% of them are rewarding broadcasters with gifts for creating content that they value and a real feeling of connection."

Cook added, "Alongside our ongoing progress in Europe, we continue to see solid performance from Live on MeetMe and Skout, with Tagged Live showing signs of starting on a similar trajectory. As a combined portfolio, just last week we hit a new record high of 20 million minutes spent in Live in a single day, up 37% over our highest day in the month of March."
