DENVER, Aug. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the
power of live video for video business owners, Intelivideo
announced today the newest component of its Subscription Video On
Demand platform, Live Streaming. Intelivideo becomes the first On
Demand platform to offer native live streaming embedded in its
technology stack.
Unlike social platforms including Facebook and YouTube where
users can live stream video free to their audiences, Intelivideo
allows companies to offer live videos to paying subscribers.
Intelivideo clients can also make money off live events through a
pay-per-view type product.
For subscription video business owners, gated live stream
content can be a very profitable tool and a unique way to engage
subscribers. Intelivideo built Live Streaming native to its
platform allowing clients to manage their entire subscription video
business in one area.
"This is a new feature we've thought a lot about and worked hard
to do right. We're so excited it's now available to all of our
great clients who are the best at producing premium videos for
their subscribers," said Matt Given,
CEO of Intelivideo. "Our clients can now add live streaming to the
ways they engage their subscribers. We're committed to adding
premium quality features that help our clients grow and retain
their subscriber bases. We love building tools that'll help them
grow and be successful."
Intelivideo Live Streaming leverages HLS technology for maximum
compatibility along with high-definition quality, multiple bitrate
streaming and of course, the ability to stream live to any device
anytime.
This feature release comes at a time when live streaming video
accounts for two-thirds of all internet traffic and is expected to
jump to 82% of traffic by 2020, according to Cisco's June 2016 Visual Networking Index report.
"Live streaming is too big of an opportunity for clients to not
explore," Given said. "It's a unique tool to grow a brand's value.
If done well, it can be another powerful option. Our Client Success
Team is ready today to guide our clients through their first live
stream. We're offering all kinds of marketing and best practice
support so that our clients can roll this feature out in a smooth
fashion."
This announcement comes on the heels of the $5.6 million
funding round and the appointment of a COO/CFO earlier this
year.
