As of 2020, while the US administration has issued an executive order barring ByteDance from operating in the country, its development is still ongoing and ByteDance’s future in the States remains uncertain.

ABOUT Xigua Video

Xigua Video is China's rising video live-streaming and video-sharing platform by ByteDance. Unlike its ByteDance sister TikTok, Xigua Video does not support video editing features and has a niche in streaming professionally-made long videos.

Xigua Video users may stream classic TV shows or watch organic video content made by others.

Initially launched as Toutiao Video in 2016, Xigua differentiates itself from other Bytedance-founded products (Douyin and TikTok) by focusing on longer-form user-generated content, movie streaming, and original productions.

Similar to YouTube, creators on Xigua receive shares of advertising revenue. As creators and the platform gain traction, this platform could offer new brand marketing opportunities.

Active Users:

270 million monthly users updated in 2019

Target Demographic:

Young content consumers interested in short form storytelling

Suitable For:

Content marketers, influencer marketers, or B2C advertising

Available Language(s):

Chinese
