Announcing: Live-to-VOD Feature in Wowza Streaming Cloud

For anyone looking to expand their audience after a live broadcast has ended, Wowza Streaming Cloud now supports Live-to-VOD capabilities. This allows you to create video-on-demand (VOD) assets from live linear streams for instantaneous playback.

Benefits of Live-to-VOD Services:- Expand your audience. Get more out of your content and reach additional viewers by offering recordings of your live events for playback later.

  • Put viewers in control. Give viewers the power to play, pause, and rewind content at their convenience by accessing on-demand content or using the nDVR feature for immediate time-shifted playback.
  • Monetize on-demand content. Create additional monetization opportunities and boost ROI by gating the VOD assets on your platform.

With Wowza’s Live-to-VOD feature, we combine automated transcoding and seamless recording to deliver the best viewer experience possible. You’re able to stream VOD files to any player and device, over any protocol, from one set of source files. That way, your viewer will have access a high-quality stream, no matter when or where they’re watching it.
