Baha’i Blog is super excited to introduce everyone to Baha’i Blog TV, or BBTV as we like to call it!
Baha’i Blog TV is Baha’i Blog’s new iPhone app that allows you to access and watch hundreds of Baha’i-inspired videos on your iPhone and iPad! So whether you’re looking for inspiring Baha’i talks, beautiful Baha’i music, or other Baha’i films to share with your friends, we’ve got it covered! Head on over to the App Store and download Baha’i Blog TV (BBTV) now for free! (Hey that rhymes!)
How to Get Baha’i Blog TV (BBTV) on your iPhone/iPad
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Apple’s App Store and search for “Baha’i Blog TV”, then click on the download button and you’re good to go!
The image on the right shows you what it looks like when you’re in the App Store, and yeah sorry, but it’s only available on the iPhone and iPad for now.
Please also note that you’ll need to be connected to the internet in order to browse and watch videos on Baha’i Blog TV (BBTV).
There’s Tons of Great Content!
On BBTV you can browse the best collection of Baha’i-inspired videos, handpicked by the Baha’i Blog team!
New videos will be added every week, and you’ll receive one weekly notification of new videos added to the app (you can always turn these notifications off if you’d prefer).
We’ve carefully curated content from across the internet (always taking copyright seriously of course), so as well as Baha’i Blog content, you’ll also find awesome content from a wide variety of sources, including videos from the Baha’i World Centre, BahaiTeachings.org, and many others!
Featured content can be seen along the top of the screen, and then beneath these, you’ll find a whole variety of categories to choose from, such as Music, Talks, News & Documentaries, Podcasts, Short Films and Baha’i Holy Places, just to name a few.
Why Did We Create Baha’i Blog TV (BBTV)?
As many of you already know, Baha’i Blog is passionate about Baha’i-inspired media content, and one of the things we’ve been doing since Baha’i Blog first started nine years ago, is to both create original Baha’i-inspired content, and to also help share and promote content created by others, all, therefore, contributing to the growing ecosystem of Baha’i-inspired content online.
The Baha’i Blog website already has a video section, and several years ago we launched Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel, and over the years Baha’i-inspired video content has been slowly, but surely growing, and we wanted a place where we could really showcase that, and make it easily accessible. Since over 50% of people online use hand-held devices to access their content worldwide (and this number continues to grow), we thought it was time for Baha’i Blog (BBTV)!
BBTV continues to be a work-in-progress, and we hope to be able to continue to contribute to the diversity of Baha’i-inspired media and content out there, so we really appreciate your support!
Please download the app, and when you do, it would be helpful if you could rate the app on the App Store as well, as this really helps with exposure.
A big thank you to everyone for your support and we hope you find Baha’i Blog TV (BBTV) useful!
Will you be creating BBTV app for Android users, soon I hope? My friend and I often use music from BB for our Feasts, and this would be an additional great resource. Thank you for all you are doing! – Marian
Would like to, but not sure if/when yet. Getting this done was hard and expensive enough for now. Please sign up to the email list and follow us on Facebook if you haven’t already to be updated in case we do. Thank you!
When comes BBTV app for Android?
Not sure if/when yet. Getting this done was hard and expensive enough for now. Please sign up to the email list and follow us on Facebook if you haven’t already to be updated in case we do. Thank you!
Great work! And understandable the termedious effort you already are exerting. But hope you get hand from someone to take up the Android version. We need it.
Thank you, and yeah, that would be great!
Dear friends, Your tireless and innovative service is admirable and so very much appreciated!! God bless!
Thank you so much Ladjamaya for your encouraging words! I hope you’re staying safe and blessed!
Thank you for this app! One thing I’d suggest would be the option of allowing users to submit videos, whether straight uploads like Youtube—via a moderated process—or by sending videos for the team to review and upload when necessary.
Perhaps something to consider down the line!
Cheers
Thanks Frank! Users can always submit videos to Baha’i Blog by emailing us at [email protected].
Congrats Naysan! And to the Baha’i Blog Team also!
Hope it would be available in Android phone in the future.
Thanks Criselda! Yes, we’ll see what we can do as far as making it available on Android pending time and cost. Thanks as always for your support and encouragement! 🙂
I am very sad that this is not an Android
Hey Justin, we’re hoping to do that soon, pending cost and time. Make sure you’re following Baha’i Blog on Social Media and our email list for updates!
This is amazing!!! Thanks so much Naysan and co!!!!
Thanks Melanie! Please help spread the word if you can! 🙂
I know it has been said before but just letting you know there are a lot of people that don’t use the iPhone and an Android app would be appreciated. I know it costs a lot of money to create an app so I get that you had to choose one to build first. Can’t wait to try it out when the Android app is available.
Thanks for the message and yes, as you mentioned, we are very aware of that. Indeed it’s not only an expensive undertaking but extremely time consuming too, and hopefully, you can appreciate that. We haven’t announced it just yet, but if you search for “Baha’i Blog TV” in the Google Play store, you’ll find it there now. Feel free to support our efforts by helping to spread the word and by supporting us here: https://bit.ly/2Wo99FF
