Our take
Vevo is the world's leading all-premium music video platform, with over 26B monthly views globally. It offers more than 5000,000 HD music videos, exclusive programming, and live performances, and is available on major platforms like YouTube, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, and many more.
While Vevo once sought to reduce its reliance on YouTube, in 2018, the company made the decision to shut down ts consumer website and remove its standalone mobile app. Today, it primarily distributes content via YouTube, with its app available on select DVRs, smart TVs, and gaming consoles.
This was a smart move for the company, reflecting necessary adaptation to the evolving digital landscape and ultimately positions Vevo for continued growth. By consolidating its resources and focusing on its partnership with YouTube, the company is securing a sustainable future for itself as the digital streaming world continues to rise.
