Thank you for hunting Bitmovin Streams @kevin I’m excited to share our latest product, Bitmovin Streams, our powerful new end-to-end solution that enables you to stream live and on-demand video in seconds. Streams allows you to easily upload and host video or connect your live input, encode content, stream in the highest quality across every device globally, and view real-time actionable data on how your audience views your content. We built Streams to encompass our industry-leading VOD and Live Encoder, Player, and Analytics, giving you access to every product in our solution suite and ensuring your platform can stream and scale quickly. This gives people the same technology that’s used by the BBC, New York Times, Discovery+, etc., in a simple way so that everyone can use it. With its simplified approach, Streams fits the needs of every industry that utilizes video and empowers you to set up and get streaming fast in the highest quality for your audience. Our platform offers a range of features, including: ✅ Per-Title encoding, making content available in the highest quality at the lowest bitrate ✅ Dedicated WordPress Plugin for easy integration ✅ Adaptive bitrate streams that ensure playback in low bandwidth environments ✅ Advanced analytics and reporting tools ✅ Scalability to handle any volume of video content We are continuously building on Streams capabilities with a great roadmap packed with new functionality, such as ads, DRM support, and many other great features. Please let us know what else you would like to see being supported next? Join us in this adventure by clicking on the upvote and link above and see what Streams can do for your workflow!
@kevin @slederer I love that it's an end-to-end solution that can handle both live and on-demand streaming. Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@rana_phool Thanks so much, also let us know what you would like to see next, we release a ton of new things and would love to incorporate as much feedback as possible.

So cool! We are super happy with Bitmovin's new function. I can highly recommend it! here is how we use it: Kickscale allows it users to build their own sales playbooks. Playbooks used to be in PDF and text form.. pretty boring and people wondered why no one on the team consumed their playbooks. Now we integrated Bitmovin. Now we can upload videos to our playbooks & they look super fancy! AND the implementation is easy!

@markus_jenul1 Thanks for using Streams, and great to hear the positive impact to your product, that's awesome! Keep on feeding us back all your feedback and needs, we are excited to expand our features based on use cases like that!

Congrats on the launch. How does this compare to Vimeo ?

@matcha_anil Thank you. Our main difference is that we see ourselves as the next step for Vimeo / YouTube users. If you use these products, you'll find that you quickly run into limitations when it comes to creating custom experiences. We're focused on giving you the ability to deliver a great experience to your users right at this point by allowing you to customize the look and feel of your player, track specific analytics actions, get new player features, save you money on CDN and storage when streaming in higher quality worldwide, and much more that we're building right now, such as advertising, content protection, etc. Streams is meant to enable anyone, non-technical to advanced developers, to simplify their workflow and get streaming fast by making it to their product. Also, we leverage our existing products under the hood and allow users to go that route as well when they become more advanced and building sophisticated platforms.

We have integrated Bitmovin into our Sales Playbook Platform www.kickscale.com and absolutely love how great the videos look now. It's super easy: Integrate streams, upload videos, and the videos get encoded automatically. You can then play the videos on every device and in every possible quality. Congrats @slederer and team! That's how video should be. Easy!!!

Already tried it out. Nice product and easily integrated which allows us to offer high-quality video content to all of our customers no matter what device or how bad the internet connection might be

@fabian_riedlsperger1 Agreed, I use it for my internal messaging to the team, creating small videos, and the streaming performance / quality you can see also in the performance analytics it's really awesome, even for small audiences like our internal stuff :-)

This is going to potentially solve a lot of our customer issues when searching for boring written documentation. Nobody wants to read anymore. But watch a video get's them in!

@mariane98543224 Exactly, video can be such an effective way of communication and interacting with users.

@kaurparen Thanks, appreciate the feedback as we put a big focus on UX. Great to see it paying off.
Ivo Scherkamp
Congrats! That sounds like a super nice way to level the playing field compared to the "big guys" out there. The best content should win not the deepest pockets to afford good infrastructure...

@ivo_scherkamp Thank you Ivo and couldn't agree more with you on that.

@ivo_scherkamp Agreed, this enables everyone to use the same technologies that the big guys are using
