About a month ago, Microsoft announced that it had acquired the live streaming service, Beam.

As seen above, the company Tweeted out a winter launch timeline. The timeline is rather vague, and no other details are available at the time. The company, however, notedin a second tweetthat more details will be out soon and that support for low latency playback of all streams is in the pipeline for Xbox.

In case you did not already know, Beam is best known for giving viewers the ability to watch and play games along with their favorite game streamers in real-time, regardless of the platform. Using low latency technology, Beam also makes interactivity easy and is designed to work for any game.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
