IBM is in talks to buy live streaming video site $4 for around $130 million in cash, $4.

UStream, founded in 2007, is best known as a competitor with Amazon's Twitch - it lets users broadcast themselves, their computer desktops, or video games $4.

Prominent figures like President Barack Obama, $4, and $4 have all made use of uStream at one point or another.

With this acquisition, the company's $4 would likely integrate uStream's video technology, letting developers build apps - especially enterprise apps - that let users easily share their desktops or other streaming content. IBM and uStream have had a technological partnership in place since 2014, doing much the same thing.

We've reached out to IBM for comment and will update when we hear back.
