Yes. We don’t require a credit card. You can start creating free 10-second watermarked test videos

Because we have our own infrastructure. If you’re streaming a 10-minute video, you can encode it for free to show it in a variety of formats and qualities.

Our servers are installed in data centers all over the world, which gives us our own video encoding, CDN pops, cloud instances, and storage for video hosting. See our network map. We have been working on video for a long time, so we know how to configure it optimally using all of our infrastructure’s features.

We prepare multi-bitrate encoding to ensure that your video is broadcasted over the Internet with any quality of bandwidth and for playback on any device.

End users will have the following video qualities: LQ, SD, HD, and Full HD of horizontal or vertical (mobile) video.

The length of the stream or video must not exceed 48 hours.

Feel free to stream vertical video from mobile devices as any other type of video: horizontal or even square

Firstly, because it is as clear as possible to our customers. The size of live streams or VOD files may be unknown or highly dependent on encoding settings, but the length of the video is constant and always clear to you.

Remember that we transcode for free, and all final multi-bitrates are stored with us for free, too. In this case, it would be wrong to charge for storage. Moreover, storage includes video, audio, metadata, thumbnails, and screenshots.

No, we no longer store the original files. This option is only available upon request to the corporate clients.
Instead you can use downloading of transcoded qualities (sd, hd, fhd) in MP4 in progressive download format.

Yes, for now. We can attach your S3-like storage. In that case, no free transcoding will be applied. We’d be interested in understanding your use case.

Video delivery is organized by our own CDN infrastructure. CDN counts the viewing time of each user. This is much easier for clients than counting traffic in gigabytes.

Pay attention to the features of common video players. If a player downloads a video segment to buffer, it’s considered delivered and paid. For example, if a player buffers 30 seconds of video before playing, then CDN must deliver those 30 seconds regardless of whether it is viewed by a viewer or the viewer simply closes the video player at the start.

Yes, you can use your CDN’s packets. This is especially important for clients who distribute videos and other content. Please ask the support team to attach it to your account.

Every month every user gets up to 50K minutes at no cost for video calls.
We count each user’s viewing time. If real-time communication lasts 20 minutes and there are 10 people in it, there will be 200 minutes in billing.

For passive webinar viewers, the “Webinar viewer” option with a reduction factor is automatically applied.

How are computer vision and video analysis via machine learning calculated?
We keep counting the length of the original video analyzed. If the analysis fires a conditional stop trigger, the trigger time is considered, not the length of the full video.

Images are counted as 1 second.

You need to activate the “Continuous stream transcoding” option. Then you can stream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year or more with no limits, such as with TV/OTT broadcasting and CCTV live streams. This is available for live streams only.

You need to activate the same “2K”, “4K”, or “8K” video encoding options.

For popular settings, you can activate the corresponding options, such as “H.265/HEVC” or “4K”.

If you need additional custom settings, for example, to modify a preset, remove an unnecessary quality, or add extra low quality, just ask us. We’ll do it for you. Feel free to ask us to activate AV1, H.266, HEVC Main 4:4:4 12 profile, etc.
