It’s been a busy couple of weeks for Qik. Last week, the company launched its first official app for the iPhone 3GS, letting users finally livestream from their phones without having to resort to jailbreaking.

Today, Qik is rolling out its invitation-only beta for Qik-in-Touch, a service that brings the Qik experience to your desktop and makes it easy to share videos and interact with your friends and family. Qik-in-Touch is an Adobe Air app, so it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

If your mom is like my mom, she probably really wants to be able to watch your live broadcasts, but has a hard time figuring out what time to tune in, where to go, etc.

This is where Qik-in-Touch comes in. The Air app runs in the background and when you go live, your friends and family can watch you instantly and interact with you through chat.

Power Qik users can also use Qik-in-Touch to access their own video collections or to watch what is going on on QikTV.

Qik-in-Touch is in private beta, but you can request an invite by going to http://qik.com/qntbeta.

How do you share live video with your friends and family?
