in political activities, backed by the royal family of Qatar. Al Jazeera condemned the decision and linked it to the results of 3 years long lobbying fulfilled following the signing of Israel–United Arab Emirates peace agreement. Format AJ+ produces video and media directly to social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram), through native apps on mobile devices (iOS and Android) and smart TV platforms (Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV). AJ+ is separate from Al Jazeera's other cable and satellite news channels, though it shares the network's current 68 bureaus with the other channels. The channel is headquartered in Washington D.C. Originally, it was headquartered San Francisco, California, in the expanded former headquarters and studio of Current TV. The channel has branch offices in Doha, Qatar, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi. It also collects and creates content through freelancers in other areas of interest. Despite being based in the United States, the content of the channel is formatted for a global audience similar to Al Jazeera English. The channel has no hosts or anchors, and live reporting plays a lesser role. Most content is available on demand. AJ+ offers news coverage from around the world, and also covers topics like lifestyle, culture and technology with very little text. Its videos range from 15 seconds to 10 minutes. The channel is experimenting with various storytelling formats. It supports a high level of user interactions in the app and its Facebook, YouTube and Twitter platforms as well. An Arabic-language version of AJ+ was launched in 2015. There is also a test Spanish version of the channel based out of San Francisco. Videos from the channel are occasionally featured on the websites of Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera America, before its closure, as a further in-depth feature of that website if the site is covering the same topic.
