We're happy to announce that Flixwagon has just launched its integration with Nokia's Share on OVI service. For the benefit of users of both services, we're including a description of Flixwagon and Share on OVI below, with instructions on how to use the two together:

Flixwagon gives you the power of live video broadcasting in one click, right from your mobile phone. Share with family and friends, enjoy 2-way IM chat with viewers while broadcasting or watching, and easily determine who can watch which video. And now you can also instantly upload videos directly to Nokia's Share on Ovi!

With Share on Ovi you can share your photos, video and audio with one person, groups of people or the whole world, anytime, anywhere. Enjoy unlimited storage and share files of up to 100mb.

To start sharing live and stored videos from your mobile phone on Share on OVI here's what you need to do:

1. Download and install the latest Flixwagon application directly on your Symbian phone from here, or by signing up via our our website here. (FAQs)

Note: even if you already have Flixwagon installed, you still need to upgrade to the most recent version. Simply download the client from m.flixwagon.com/nokia and insert your login details instead of performing express registration.

2. On your computer, log-in to http://www.flixwagon.com (using the login details you got via SMS, or those you entered via the website), go to Settings/OVI, and enter your Share on OVI user name and password. Choose whether to have automatic or manual uploads to Share on OVI, and which Share on OVI channel/library to post your videos to.

Please note: Share on OVI requires separate sign-up and login from other OVI properties. To sign up for Share on OVI go to: http://share.ovi.com.

3. Open the Flixwagon application on your phone and click broadcast. If you set your preferences to automatic uploads, your public Flixwagon videos will appear in Share on Ovi instantly (and all your videos will also appear on Flixwagon.com). Remember, only public videos can be shared on Ovi by default.

If you set to manual uploads:

1. from the mobile broadcasting screen go to: Options --> Advanced Options --> Upload Flix to OVI.

OR:

2. login to your account on Flixwagon.com, open the video page, and click the OVI logo to share.

Feel free to edit titles and tags, post chat messages, and more. You can also view videos directly from your mobile phone on http://share.ovi.com.
