Our take
Online video is an integral part of almost every business' website, from advertisement publishing and sports to eLearning and podcasting. However, whilst video can be hosted through traditional video players that can be embedded on webpages, this technology is not optimized for omnichannel viewing, lacks a viewer analytic structure, and above all, cannot engage audiences on the same level as video platform giants.
JW Player provides a video streaming platform designed to be optimized for omnichannel viewing for any business using video to engage their audience. In addition to providing a high-quality and consistent video player, the company also provides innovative video player bidding technology, ad revenue optimization tools, and real-time viewer engagement analytics.
Whilst the company certainly faces competition from other video engagement platforms, the merger of JW Player and Connatix positions JW Player as a leader in video streaming and monetization. With its advanced technology and global reach, the company is on top of helping media companies stay ahead in the evolving digital video landscape.
