Everything for reliable playback

A small, focused toolset instead of a bloated dashboard nobody asked for.

Adaptive streaming

Automatic bitrate ladders and AV1/H.264 fallback tuned per device and network condition.

Private by default

Signed playback URLs, domain restrictions and expiring links — nothing is public unless you say so.

Playback analytics

Watch time, drop-off points and rebuffer ratio broken down by region and device.

Embeddable player

A lightweight, brandable player component that drops into any site or internal tool in minutes.

API & webhooks

Upload, transcode and query playback state programmatically, with webhooks for every stage.

Fast ingest

Resumable uploads and near-instant transcode start for files up to 50 GB.

Live in three steps

Most teams are streaming their first video within the hour.

1

Upload

Drag a file into the dashboard or push it through the API — resumable, so flaky connections aren't a problem.

2

Transcode

We generate an adaptive bitrate ladder automatically, tuned to your source resolution and framerate.

3

Embed & share

Drop the player snippet into your site, or share a signed link that expires whenever you want.

"We moved our internal training library over in an afternoon. Playback analytics alone told us which onboarding videos people actually finish."
