Powder arrives with the desire to become the Instagram of the clips of videogames. In other words, you can upload the video clips that you record of your games on Android, or even take the desktop app so that while you play it «takes» the most important scenes and you decide to upload them.
A new social network that has received a good influx of capital with $ 14 million led by Serena. And it seems that things are looking good, since, although there are several platforms dedicated to gaming such as Twitch or Discord (each in its category), we could be missing something similar to what Powder proposes.
Share your favorite clips
Who would have told us a few years ago that the mere fact of uploading a clip of a game we play could have such an impact. If platforms such as Twitch or YouTube have already done it to follow streamers with hundreds of millions of followers, there is still a good way to go to new ideas and platforms; to say that TikTok a couple of years ago I was a stranger and it is now the center of international disputes.
Powder is a new app available on Android, iOS and desktop so that from our profile we can upload content in the form of short clips; Let's say it can also be the TikTok of short game videos.
Or we can just use it as an app to watch other people's videos and, of course, follow those who generate content through their mobiles or their PCs. In fact, the Android app is embedded in several functions, waiting for some features to arrive so that we can enjoy the same experience in the desktop through a PC.
Capture the most important moments of the games
Geforce NOW already has this feature for you to give the OK to take the most important moments and "see" opportune. That is since you already stream games, it is easy for you to "assess" which ones to record so that later you have them in your library so you can share them; you can actually take a look at how good the games in Geforce NOW on Chrome.
Powder works in the desktop version the same wayAlthough it is not a streaming service, it is capable of recording those moments so that later you can edit the video clips and decide which ones to share.
Those videos you can edit them also with stickers, filters and even music so that they are more shocking and get you to like me. Of course, it is a social network that seeks to receive new followers, so from your profile you have the option of being followed just like you follow.
With its shortcomings
Moment the Android app is quite limited and it becomes difficult to find categories or any other type of content that is not the timeline that they impose on you. We have a bottom bar with three buttons, one to access the timeline, another to our profile and the other to add content.
It can be uploaded locally from our mobile to assign a tag to the uploaded game and the option to link the Xbox account to add clips from it.
Una well-kept interface and a generous experience that still lacks some important aspects so that it begins to be relevant and taken into account.
