The Meet Group Announces Launch of Live Video on Lovoo in Austria

The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the mobile meeting space, today announced the launch of live video on its Lovoo app in Austria.

“We are thrilled to bring live video to Lovoo,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Office of The Meet Group. “We’ve been building our video platform for more than a year-and-a-half, and we are pleased to bring this compelling product to Lovoo’s European audience. Lovoo is our largest app by daily active users, providing a meaningful opportunity for us to continue to grow video revenue.

“Since launching Live in Austria yesterday, we’ve already seen 15% of users engage with the product, a level comparable to what we had seen in the early days after launching Live on our MeetMe app,” continued Cook. “As I’ve indicated previously, we plan to follow our Austrian rollout with an expansion to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland on a country-by-country basis throughout the second half of 2018, with France expected to launch next in June.

“Our progress growing live video monetization continues to be strong. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our compelling product roadmap to our entire user base.”
